NOTICE.  ^^^^ 

IN  this  short  treatise  on  the  Principal  Diseases  of  the 
Horse,  we  have  avoided  all  scientific  and  obscure 
words,  and  endeavored  to  make  our  language  as 
plain  and  simple  as  possible  ;  so  Ihat  the  most  common 
understanding  can  get  our  full  meaning.  We  .wish 
you  to  follow  our  directions  in  every  case :  then  you 
will  be  able  to  cure  your  animal  without  any  outside 
advice  or  assistance.  In  return,:  w:e  want  you  to 
speak  well  of  Dr.  Tumbull*s  Curine  when  a  cure 
has  been  effected ;  give  it  your  influence ;  recommend 
it  to  your  friends :  send  the  pamphlets  to  your  brother 
horsemen,  wherever  you  think  they  will  do  good. 

The  measure  that  you  measure  to  others,  the  same 
will  be  measured  back  to  you. 

8^°We  advise  every  breeder,  trainer  or  owner  of 
a  horse  to  carry  one  of  these  books  in  his  pocket,  as 
it  will  be  of  use  to  him,  and  it  w^ill  save  us  answering 
several  thousand  letters  each  year. 

When  this  book  w^ears  out,  or  should  your  friend 
wish  one^  drop  us  a  postal  and  we  w^ill  send  you 
another  free  of  charge  by  return  mail.

DISEASES  OF  THE  HORSE. 


THEIR   CAJiSE&^.SYMPTOMS,    TREATMENT 

DUPUC.rE  "^^ 

DISEASES 


OF  THE  TEETH. 


flrCKAHCE^ 


DENTITTT9N.  Thig-^covers  the  period  during 
which  the  young-  horse  is  cutting  his  teeth,  from 
birth  to  the  age  of  five  years.  More  difficulty  is 
experienced  in  cutting  the  second  or  permanent 
teeth  than  with  the  first  or  milk  teeth.  The  moufh 
of  a  young-  horse  should  be  frequently  examined, 
and  if  one  or  more  of  the  milk  teeth  are  remaining 
too  long,  causing  the  second  teeth  to  g-row  in 
crooked,  they  should  be  removed  at  once  by  the 
forceps. 

IRREGULARITIES  OF  TEETH.— In  all  in- 
stances where  horses  "quid"  their  food,  slobber,  or 
evince  pain  in  mastication,  they  should  be  carefully 
examined.  If,  as  is  mostly  the  case,  all  these 
symptoms  are  referable  to  sharp  corners  or  pro- 
jections of  the  teeth,  these  must  be  removed  by  the 
rasp.  We  would  recommend  that  the  horse's  teeth 
be  examined  once  in  every  two  years,  at  least,  by  a 
"veterinary  dentist." 


LAMPAS. 


Lampas  is  a  name  given  to  a  swelling  of  the 
mucous  membrane  covering  the  hard  palate  and 
projecting  in  a  prominent  ridge  behind  the  upper 
incisors.  There  is  no  doubt  that  in  very  bad  cases, 
and  especially  while  teething,  there  is  congestion 
and  swelling  in  this  part  of  the  mouth  which  will 
interfere  with  feeding.  Should  this  exist,  the  swol- 
len parts  should  be  scarred,  being  careful  not  to 
cut  too  deeply  into  the  structures.  Never  burn  the 
lampas,  as  it  is  cruel  and  should  never  be  permitted.

CURINE-The  Great 


DISEASES  OF   THE   INTESTINES. 


FLATULENT  COLIC,  WIND  COLIC,  ETC. 

Tlie  most  frequent  causes  of  colic  are,  sudden 
changes  of  food,  too  long  fasting  and  then  feeding 
while  the  animal  is  exhausted;  large  quantities  of 
green  food,  new  hay  or  grain,  food  that  has  become 
sour,  irregular  teeth,  and  anything  that  causes  in- 
digestion may  produce  flatulent  colic. 

SYMPTOMS.— Horse  seems  dull,  pains  slig-htly, 
may  or  may  not  lie  down.  The  pains  are  contin- 
uous. If  not  soon  relieved,  the  above  symptoms  are 
aggravated,  and  you  will  notice  difficult  breathing, 
perspiration,  trembling  of  the  front  legs,  stagger- 
ing from  side  to  side,  and  finally  plunging  forward 
—dead. 

TREATMENT.— The  best  domestic  remedy  that 
can  be  had  is  a  dose  of  baking-soda,  3  to  4  ounces 
If  this  fails,  give  a  half-ounce  of  carbonate  of  am- 
monia every  half-hour.  If  suffering  extreme  pain 
give  one  ounce  of  chloral  hydrate  in  one-half  pint 
of  water.  A  physic  should  be  given  as  early  as 
possible.  The  best  is  one  ounce  of  Barbadoes  aloes 
made  up  in  a  ball.  Injections  per  rectum,  of  tur- 
pentine one  ounce,  linseed  oil  one-half  pint  may  be 
given  frequently  to  stimulate  the  motion  of  the 
bowels.  Keep  the  horse  warm  by  blankets  wrung 
out  of  hot  water  every  five  or  ten  minutes  and 
covered  with  a  dry  wool  blanket.  This  will  do 
much  to  afford  relief.  Th?s  form  of  colic  is  much 
more  fatal  than  cramp  colic  and  requires  prompt 
treatment. 


SPASMODIC    OR    CRAMP    COLIC. 

Spasmodic  or  Cramp  Colic— This  is  the  name 
given  to  that  form  of  colic  produced  by  contraction, 
or  spasm,  of  a  portion  of  the  small  intestines 
Causes — indigestible  food;  large  drinks  of  cold  wa- 
ter when  the  animal  is  warm;  driving  liim  who.n 
heated  through  deep  streams;  draughts  of  cold  aii, 
cold  rains,  etc. 


American  Veterinary  Remedy. 


SYMPTOMS.— It  always  begins  suddenly.  When 
feeding  he  is  sure  to  stop  suddenly,  stamp  and 
probably  look  backwards.  He  will  soon  get  more 
acute  pain  and  then  he  will  paw,  suddenly  lie  dowii, 
roll  and  get  up  again.  There  is  then  an  interval  cf 
ease;  ho  will  resume  feeding  and  appear  lo  be  en- 
tirely well,  but  in  a  little  while  the  pain  v/ill  return 
in  a  more  severe  form  and  may  be  continuous, 
lie  n:ay  try  to  urinate,  but  this  is  a  way  the  horse 
expresses  the  presence  of  pain.  It  is  very  rare  that 
a  horse's  kidneys  or  bladder  are  affected,  nor 
should  we,  if  a  horse  yields  or  sinks  when  pinched 
over  the  loins,  declare  that  kidney  disease  exists. 

TREATMENT.— Give  one  ounce  of  chloral  hydrate 
in  half-pint  of  water,  or  a  very  good  rermedy  is  two 
ounces  each  of  sulphuric  ether  and  laudanum  in 
half-pint  of  linseed  oil.  If  relief  is  not  obtained 
from  either  of  the  above  doses,  they  may  be  re- 
peated. Keep  the  body  warm  with  blankets  dipped 
in  hot  water  every  five  or  ten  minutes  and  covered 
with  a  dry  woolen  blanket,  until  perspiration  is  in- 
duced. 


RINGBONE. 

A  ringbone  is  a  growth  of  a  bony  tumor  on  the 
ankle.  Causes — Injuries,  such  as  sprains,  blows, 
fast  work  on  hard  roads,  jumping,  etc.  Horses 
most  disposed  to  this  disease  are  those  with  short 
upright  pasterns,  high  calks  in  shoeing,  too  much 
shortening  of  the  toe  and  corresponding  high  heels, 
causing  too  much   concussion  to   the   feet. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  first  symptom  Is  lameness, 
more  or  less  acute.  The  ankle  presents  more  or 
less  heat  and  very  often  swelling.  When  in  the 
front  leg  the  heel  is  first  placed  on  the  ground 
and  the  ankle  is  kept  as  rigid  as  possible.  In  the 
hind  leg  the  toe  strikes  the  ground  first,  when  the 
ringbone  is  high  on  the  ankle,  but  the  ankle  is 
maintained  in  a  rigid  position.  If  the  bony  growth 
is  under  the  front  tendon  of  the  hind  leg,  the  heel 
is  brought  to  the  ground  first.  They  are  very  bad 
and  should  be  looked  after  at  once. 


CURINE— The  Great 


TREATMENT  —Clip  hair  if  thick.  Remove  all 
grease  from  part  with  strong  ammonia  water;  im- 
mediately afterwards  wash  with  vinegar;  when  dry- 
paint  with  Dr.  Turnbull's  CURINE  two  or  three 
times  daily,  for  one  week,  then  stop  for  a  week, 
and  if  at  the  end  of  that  time  the  trouble  has  not 
all  disappeared,  apply  the  CURINE  again  the  same 
as  before. 

Wash  with  ammonia  water  and  vinegar  prior  to 
applying  CURINE  the  first  time,  but  wash  once 
every  other  day  with  warm  water  and  soap  prior 
to  using  CURINE,  and  continue  to  wash  every 
other  day,  for  one  week,  after  you  stop  applying 
CURINE,  to  remove  the  scurf.  Apply  CURINE 
with  an  old  tooth  or  nail  brush.  On  very  thin- 
skinned  animals  or  horses  that  have  never  been 
blistered,  you  will  find  that  CURINE  used  as  above 
will  take  a  very  strong  hold  That  will  be  all  the 
better,  and  as  the  swelling  goes  down  the  trouble 
will  disappear  with  it,  but  should  the  affected  part 
show  signs  of  breaking  open,  stop  using  the  CUR- 
INE for  a  week  and  then  apply  again  if  necessary. 

CURINE  can  be  had  from  your  druggist  or  har- 
ness dealer,  or  consult  our  special  agents'  list  on 
pages  59  to  76. 

BONE  SPAVIN. 
This  affection  is  an  exostosis  of  the  hock  joint. 
It  may  appear  on  the  upper  part  of  the  hock  or  a 
little  below  the  inner  side  of  the  loyt^er  extremity 
of  the  shank  bone.  This  is  what  is  known  as  a 
high  spavin;  or  it  may  form  on  the  outside  of  the 
hock  and  become  an  outside  or  external  spavin;  or 
the  entire  under  surface  may  become  the  seat  of 
the  osseous  deposit,  and  involve  the  internal  face 
of  all  the  bones  of  the  hock,  and  this  is  called  a 
bone  spavin.  With  no  enlargement  to  sight  or 
touch  an  animal  may  be  disabled  by  an  occult 
spavin,  which  has  resulted  from  a  union  of  several 
bones  of  the  hock.  Spavins  are  hereditary,  or  may 
be  caused  by  extra  exertion,  slipping  upon  an  icy 
pavement,  or  an  effort  to  recover  his  balance, 
sprains,  and  other  causes. 


American  Veterinary  Remedy. 


SYMPTO:\IS.— The  peculiar  position  assumed  by 
the  patient  while  at  rest.  The  posture  is  due  to  the 
action  of  the  adductor  muscles,  the  lower  part  of 
the  leg  being  carried  inward  and  the  heel  of  the 
shoe  resting  on  the  toe  of  the  opposite  foot.  When 
driven  he  will  travel  stiffly,  with  a  sort  of  a  side- 
long gait,  and,  on  being  taken  to  the  stall,  will  rest 
with  his  toe  pointing  forward,  the  heel  raised  and 
the  hock  flexed.  A  little  heat  and  considerable  in- 
flammation soon  appears.  The  lameness  which  ap- 
pears in  backing  out  of  the  stall  ceases  to  be  no- 
ticeable after  a  short  distance  of  travel.  An  ex- 
amination of  the  hock  will  then  begin  to  reveal 
the  existence  of  the  lesion,  a  bony  enlargement  at 
the  junction  of  the  hock  and  cannon  bone,  on  the 
inside  and  a  little  in  front  and  tangible  to  both 
sight  and  touch.  As  soon  as  you  discover  that 
your  horse  is  getting  a  spavin,  you  should  proceed 
at  once  to  treatment  and  follow  directions  carefully. 

TREATMENT.— Apply  Dr.  TurnbuU's  CURINE 
the  same  as  directed  for  ringbone,  on  page  5.  If 
taken  in  time  you  will  get  a  permanent  cure.  If 
allowed  to  fully  develop  you  can  remove  the  lame- 
ness and  sometimes  the  enlargement.  When  the 
horse  is  lame  give  him  absolute  rest  while  treating 
for   spavin,    ringbone,    sprains,   etc. 

Beware  of  those  24  and  48-hour  spavin  cures. 


BT.OOD  SPAVINS  AND  THOROUGHPINS. 

The  blood  spavin,  is  situated  in  the  front  and  a 
little  inward  of  the  hock;  the  thoroughpin  is  formed 
at  the  back  and  on  the  top  of  the  hock.  They  are 
round,  smooth  and  well  defined.  In  their  general 
characteristics   these   tumors   are   similar   to    wind-

gall,  although  it  is  possible  for  a  blood  spavin  to 
cause  lameness  and  unsoundness  in  the  patient  if 
not  treated  as  directed. 

TREATMENT.— Blood  spavins  and  thoroughpins 
should  be  treated  with  Dr.  Turnbull's  CURINE 
under  the  same  directions  as  for  ringbone  on  page 
5.  These  troubles  will  yield  somewhat  easier  than 
ringbone  or  bone  spavin. 


CURINE  is  the  most  powerful  and  best  Absorbent, 
Antiseptic,  Alterative  and  Penetrative  in  the  world. 
No   grease.     Will   not   blemish    or  remove   the   hair. 


LAMINITAS— FOUNDER. 

CAUSES.— The  causes  of  founder  are  wide  and 
variable,  the  most  common  being  overexertion,  ex- 
haustion, concussion,  rapid  change  of  temperature, 
etc.  Founder  from  concussion  is  common  in  track 
horses  trotting  races  when  not  in  condition,  long 
drives  on  dirt  roads  when  the  weather  is  hot,  or 
when  the  change  of  temperature  is  great. 

Overexertion — As  rapid  pulling  or  rapid  work  even 
where  there  is  no  chance  for  concussion.  Rapid 
changes  in  temperature — Such  as  drinking  large 
quantities  of  water  while  in  an  overheated  condi- 
tion, cold  air  being  alloM^ed  to  play  upon  the  body 
when  heated  and  wet  with  sweat. 

SYMPTOMS.— Any  one  or  all  of  the  feet  may 
become  the  subject  of  the  disease,  although  it  ap- 
pears more  often  in  both  the  front  feet.  When 
both  forefeet  are  affected,  the  symptoms  are  well 
marked.  The  lameness  is  excessive  and  the  animal 
almost  immovable.  When  standing  his  head  hangs 
low  down,  or  he  may  rest  his  head  upon  the  manger

Gentlemen: — I  have  used  your  Curine  with  the 
best  of  success,  and  I  find  that  it  will  do  all  that 
you  claim  for  it.  W.  L.  THUBRON,

as  a  means  of  support  and  to  relieve  the  feet;  the 
forefeet  are  well  extended,  so  that  the  weight  is 
thrown  upon  the  heels,  where  he  gets  some  relief. 
The  hind  feet  are  brought  forward  beneath  the  body 
to  receive  as  much  weight  as  possible,  relieving 
the  diseased  ones. 

TREATMENT.— The  treatment  of  founder  is 
probably  more  varied  than  any  other  disease.  The 
body  should  be  kept  warm  and  warm  drinks  given, 
to  draw  the  blood  to  these  parts  away  from  the 
feet;  at  the  same  time  the  feet  should  be  placed  in 
warm  water,  to  increase  the  return  flow  of  blood. 
In  the  course  of  half  an  hour  the  feet  should  be 
changed  to  very  cold  water  and  kept  there  until 
recovery  is  completed.  Give  three  ounces  of  salt- 
peter in  a  pint  of  water  every  six  hours,  for  a  week, 
if  necessary.  If  the  animal  is  lying  down,  swabs 
should  be  used,  and  wet  every  half-hour  with  cold 
water.  If  the  weather  is  warm,  keep  a  little  ice 
in  the  water.  If  at  the  end  of  five  er  six  days 
prominent  symptoms  of  recovery  are  not  apparent, 
remove  the  swabs,  and  paint  with  CURINE  around 
the  coronet  five  or  six  times  a  day,  and  as  soon  as 
the  CURINE  has  taken  a  good  strong  hold,  which 
will  be  in  a  day  or  two,  the  wet  swabs  may  be  ap- 
plied again. 


FISTUL.E.— POLL   EVIL.

pipes   leading   from   cavities   to   the   surface    of    the

Gentlemen:— Please  send  me  by  express  another 
bottle  of  Curine,  as  I  need  it  in  my  business.  The 
bottle  I  procured  from  you  has  been  a  wonder 
worker  in  my  stable,  and  hereafter  I  will  not  con- 
sider my  outfit  complete  without  it  in  my  trunk. 
You  are  at  liberty  to  publish  this,  as  I  think  all 
horsemen  should  know  of  its  merits.  Wishing  you 
renewed  success,  I  am,  Yours  truly,

body,  through  which  a  discharge  is  taking  place. 
It  may  exist  at  any  part,  but  it  mostly  appears  on 
the  withers.  Poll-evil  is  a  fistula  and  in  no  sense 
differs  from  fistulous  withers  except  as  to  location. 
Fistula  follows  as  a  result  of  abscesses,  wounds, 
bruises,  irritation  by  the  harness,  saddle,  bad  fit- 
ting collars,  etc.  Fistula  of  the  poll— poll  evil— are 
caused  chiefly  by  a  chafing  of  the  halter  or  heavy 
bridle;  blows  from  a  club  or  the  butt-end  of  a 
whip,  striking  his  head  against  the  hayrack,  ceil- 
ing, low  doors^  etc. 

TREATMENT.— When  the  formation  of  pus  Is 
Inevitable,  this  must  be  hurried  as  much  as  possi- 
ble. Hot  fomentations  and  poultices  are  to  be  con- 
stantly used,  and  as  soon  as  fluctuation  can  be 
plainly  felt  the  abscess  wall  is  to  be  opened  at  its 
lowest  point,  to  allow  the  pus  to  escape  as  soon  as 
formed;  then  inject  10  to  20  drops  of  CITRINE,  di- 
luted with  equal  quantities  of  alcohol  and  water, 
twice  a  day,  and,  as  the  wound  becomes  more 
healthy,   dilute   CURINE    in   proportion. 


FISTULA    OF    THE    FOOT— QIHTTOR. 

Should  be  treated  on  the  same  principle  as  those 
already  described.  When  fistulous  ti;acts  are  found 
at  unusual  points,  carefully  examine  to  see  if  some 
foreign  body,  as  a  splinter  of  wood,  etc.,  is  not  re- 
tained in  the  wound.

H.  S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  Eatrobe,  Pa. 

Gentlemen:— We  have  been  using  your  Curine  in 
several  cases,  and  find  it  to  have  all  the  properties 
you  recommend,  and  in  my  judgment  is  the  best 
liniment  and  absorbent  I  have  ever  seen,  and  it 
reaches  deep-seated  troubles.  I  think  it  is  a  com- 
pound  that  should   be  in   every   stable. 

Yours  very  truly,  JOHN  C.  WEETY,  Atty.

SPPUNa  KNEES.      , 

The  flexion  of  the  knee  may  be  a  congenital  de- 
formity and  have  continued  from  the  foaling  of 
the  animal,  or  it  may  be  the  result  of  heavy  labor 
at  too  early  an  age,  or  it  may  appear  from  too  much 
substantial  food  and  not  sufficient  exercise,  and 
as  a  whole  the  tendons  become  contracted. 

TREATMENT.— Paint  with  CURINE  twice  daily, 
over  the  tendons  on  the  back  of  leg,  from  a  little 
above  the  knee  to  pastern  joint  for  one  week,  be- 
ing careful  to  not  get  too  much  directly  back  of 
the  knee,  as  that  being  a  very  tender  spot  it  may 
become  very   sore. 

If  at  the  end  of  one  week,  after  you  have  stopped 
using  CURINE,  no  improvement  is  noticed,  apply 
again  same  as  before. 


THUMPS— SPASM   OF   THE    DIAPHRAGM. 

"Thumps"  is  generally  thought  to  be  a  palpita- 
tion of  the  heart.  While  palpitation  of  the  heart  is 
sometimes  called  "thumps,"  it  must  not  be  con- 
founded with  this  subject.  A  spasm  of  the  dia- 
phragm, the  principle  muscle  used  in  respiration, 
is  generally  caused  by  prolonged  speeding  on  the 
track  or  road.  The  severe  strain  upon  this  muscle 
irritates  the  nerves  controlling  it,  and  the  con- 
tractions become  violent  and  produces  the  jerking 
character  peculiar  to  this  trouble.  To  distinguish 
thumps  from  palpitation  of  the  heart,  place  your 
hand  on  the  pulse  at  the  angle  of  the  jaw  and 
watch  the  jerking  m.ovement  of  the  body;  you  will 
cee  that  the  two  have  no  relation  to  one  another.

Gentlemen:— I  have  given  both  your  Curine  and 
Hoofine  a  fair  and  impartial  trial,  and  I  consider 
them  both  the  most  wonderful  remedies  that  I  have 
ever  used.  MOSES  MOSES.

Thumps  5s  produced  by  the  same  causes  that 
produce  congestion  of  the  lungs,  and,  if  not  re- 
lieved, death  usually  follows. 

TREATMENT.— The  best  preventative  for  thump.s 
Is  Speed  Sustaining  Elixir  given  prior  to  starting 
In  a  long  race  if  your  horse  shows  fatigue,  and  all 
race-drivers  should  have  this  remedy  on  hand.  If 
nothing  else  is  at  hand,  give  half  a  pint  of  whiskey 
or  brandy  in  the  same  amount  of  water  every  hour. 
Let  him  stand  still  and  give  him  plenty  of  fresh 
air,  have  the  harness  removed  at  once,  rub  well 
over  the  body  and  legs;  if  the  legs  are  cold,  rub 
well  with  CURINE  diluted  with  equal  quantities 
of  water.  When  the  body  and  legs  are  warm,  band- 
age the  legs  from  the  hoof  up  as  far  as  possible. 
Throw  a  blanket  over  the  body  and  let  the  rubbing 
be  done  under  the  blanket.  Give  an  ounce  of  ar- 
nica in  a  half-pint  of  water  every  hour,  or  a  half- 
ounce  aqua  ammonia  (hartshorn)  in  a  pint  of  water 
every  hour.  If  no  improvement  is  noticed  in  six 
or  eight  hours,  the  ainimal  should  be  bled  from  the 
jugular  vein.  Do  not  take  out  more  than  four  or 
five  quarts,  and  do  not  repeat  the  bleeding.  After 
an  attack  of  thumps  he  should  be  well  taken  care 
of  for  a  few  days,  as  this  may  be  followed  with  an 
attack  of  pneumonia.

Gentlemen: — I  have  been  using  your  Curine,  and 
I  find  that  it  will  do  more  than  any  preparation 
that  I  have  ever  used.  Horsemen  will  never  know 
what  a  good  and  useful  article  it  Is  until  they  have 
once  tried  it.  A.  B.  MOORE,

of  the  affected  leg,  and  at  other  times  lifting  it  only 
a  few  inches  from  the  ground,  but  always  with 
the  same  uncontrollable  jerk.  The  habit  is  un- 
affected by  the  gait,  and  whether  trotting,  walking 
or  merely  turning  around,  it  is  all  the  same.  The 
cause  of  this  disease  seems  to  be  a  puzzle  to  vet- 
erinarians and  pathologists,  and  we  will  not  at- 
tempt to  give  an  opinion.  We  would  advise  abso- 
lute rest  by  turning  him  out  to  grass  for  a  season 
and  let  nature  right  the  causes. 


NAVICULAR  DISEASE. 

Navicular  Disease  is  an  inflammation  of  the  sesa- 
moid sheath  induced  by  repeated  bruising  or  lac- 
eration. The  thoroughbred  horse  is  more  common- 
ly affected  with  the  disease,  yet  no  class  or  breed- 
ing is  exempt.  As  a  general  rule  one  foot  suffers 
from  the  disease,  but  if  both  are  affected  the  trouble 
has  become  chronic. 

CAUSES.— It  must  be  remembered  that  the  fore- 
legs largely  support  the  weight  of  the  body  and 
the  faster  he  moves  the  greater  is  the  shock  which 
the  forefeet  must  sustain.  The  result  is  that  the 
coronet  bone  forces  the  navicular  hard  against  the 
flexon  tendon,  which  in  time  presses  firmly  against 
the  navicular  as  the  force  of  the  contracting  mus- 
cles lifts  the  tendon  into  place.  The  more  rapid 
the  pace  and  the  greater  the  load,  the  greater  the 
liability  to  injury  must  be.  The  faults  of  confor- 
mation most  likely  to  be  followed  by  the  develop- 
ment of  navicular  disease,  are,  an  insufficient  plan- 
tar cushion,  small  frog,  high  heels,  excessive  knee 
action  and  contracted  heels.  The  disease  is  also 
hereditary. 

SYMPTOMS.— Before  lameness  is  noticed  the  an- 
imal points  the  affected  foot.  While  at  work  he 
apparently  travels  as  well  as  ever,  but  when  placed 
in  the  stable^  one  foot  is  placed  out  ahead  of  the 
other,  resting  on  the  toe.  After  a  time  he  may 
take  a  few  lame  steps;  later  he  may  be  lame  for  a 
part  of  a  day  and  then  seem   all   right  again.    In 


14  CURINE-The  Great 


time  he  has  a  severe  attack  of  lameness  which  may 
last  a  week,  and  finally  hf  becomes  constantly 
lame,  and  the  more  he  is  used  the  greater  the 
lameness. 

TREATMENT.— In  the  early  stages  the  wall  of 
the  heel  should  be  rasped  away  until  the  horn  is 
quite  thin,  then  apply  CURINE  three  times  daily 
for  one  week,  same  as  for  ringbone  on  page  5,  or 
explicit  directions,  page  6.  Then,  if  in  summer 
time,  the  patient  should  be  turned  out  to  grass  in 
a  damp  field  or  meadow,  and  in  three  weeks  he 
should  be  brought  in  and  treated  with  CURINE  for 
one  week  same  as  before.  This  treatment  should 
be  repeated  for  two  or  three  months.  If  in  winter 
time,  and  you  have  no  place  to  turn  him  out,  let 
him  remain  in  a  box  stall.  A  veterinary  may  per- 
form neurotomy,  but  this  may  be  attended  with 
serious  results. 


HEAVES— BROKEN  WIND. 

Some  eminent  veterinarians  maintain  that  the 
exciting"  cause  of  broken  wind  is  due  to  a  lesion 
of  the  pneumogastric  nerve  and  there  is  good  foun- 
dation for  this  opinion.  The  pneumogastric  nerves 
send  branches  to  the  bronchial  tubes,  heart,  lungs, 
stomach,  etc.,  and  all  these  organs  may  sooner  or 
later  become  involved  in  connection  with  broken 
wind. 

SYMPTOMS.— Every  experienced  horseman  is 
able  to   detect   "heaves."    The   peculiar   movement

H.  S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  Latrobe,  Pa. 

Gentlemen:— I  have  been  using  some  of  your 
preparations,  and  I  find  that  they  will  do  all  that 
you  claim  for  them.  For  Curbs,  Sprains,  Bony 
Growths,  etc.,  your  Curine  has  no  equal.  One  or 
two  applications  will  do  more  good  than  all  the  so- 
called  spavin  mixtures  that  I  ever  tried,  and  I  think 
every  horseman  should  have  it  in  his  stables. 

J.  H.  ELLSWORTH. 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  15 


of  the  flanks  and  abdomen  point  out  the  ailment  at 
once.  The  cough  that  accompanies  this  disease  is 
short  and  something  like  a  grunt.  If  the  horse  is 
put  to  exertion  the  symptoms  will  be  much  plainer. 
"Smart"  individuals  become  very  expert  in  man- 
aging a  horse  affected  with  "heaves."  They  take 
advantage  that  the  breathing  is  much  easier  when 
the  stomach  is  empty,  and  also  resort  to  medicines 
that  have  a  depressing  effect.  When  you  are  ex- 
amining a  horse  and  suspect  he  has  been  "fixed," 
give  him  all  the  water  he  will  drink,  and  then  have 
him  ridden  or  driven  up  hill  or  over  a  rough  road. 
This  will  bring  out  the  symptoms  of  the  "heaves." 

TREATMENT.— Careful  attenfion  paid  to  diet  is 
of  greatest  importance;  always  water  before  feed- 
ing. Feed  nice  clean  oats,  or  a  little  bran  can  be 
added.  Feed  a  small  quantity  of  clean  timothy  hay 
once  a  day,  and  it  is  a  good  plan  to  slightly  dampen 
all  feed  to  allay  the  dust.  Carrots  or  potatoes 
chopped  fine  and  mixed  with  oats  or  corn  is  a  good 
diet.  Medical  treatment  is  of  a  secondary  con- 
sideration. 

Arsenic  is  about  the  best  remedy,  and  is  best  ad- 
ministered in  the  form  of  the  solution  of  arsenic 
in  hydrochloric  acid  (Liq.  Acidi.  Ars.),  which  can 
be  obtained  from  the  drug  store.  Give  a  table- 
spoonful  mixed  with  oats  and  bran  three  times  a 
day  for  two  weeks,  then  twice  a  day  for  two  weeks, 
then  once  a  day  for  about  four  weeks. 


KNUCKLING  OR  COCKED  ANKLES.. 

Knuckling  is  a  partial  dislocation  of  the  fetlock 
joint  in  which  the  relative  position  of  the  pastern 
bone  to  the  cannon  and  coronet  bones  is  changed. 

CAUSES.— Horses  with  erect  pasterns  are  more 
apt  to  knuckle  as  they  grow  old,  especially  in  the 
hind  legs.  Fast  work  on  hard  race  tracks  or  hard 
roads  are  causes  for  knuckling.  Knuckling  is  pro- 
duced by  disease  of  the  suspensory  ligament,  or  of 
the  flexor  tendons  whereby  they  are  shortened. 
Young  foals  are  very  often  subject  to  this  condition, 
and  it  is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that  before  birth 
the  legs  were  flexed. 


16  CURINE-The  Great 


TREATMENT.— Paint  with  CURINE  twice  daily 
for  one  week,  over  ankles  above  and  below;  allow 
it  to  remain  for  another  week,  and  if  not  improved, 
apply  ag-ain  same  as  before.  For  young  foals  di- 
lute three  or  four  times  with  equal  quantities  of 
water  and  alcohol  and  apply  same  as  above. 


THICK   WIND. 


The  great  majority  of  horses  called  "thick  wind" 
belong  either  in  the  class  called  "roarers,"  or  are 
more  affected  with  "heaves,"  and  no  separate  class- 
ification is  needed.  Horses  that  are  very  fat  and 
those  that  have  not  been  exercised  for  so  long  that 
their  muscular  system  has  become  unfit  for  work; 
horses  with  large  bellies  loaded  with  coarse  and 
bulky  food,  emit  a  louder  sound  than  natural  in 
breathing  and  are   called   "thick  wind." 

The  treatment  is  simple.  Remove  the  cause  and 
the  effect  will  cease. 


CAPPED    ELBOW— SHOE    BOILS. 

Capped  Elbow,  commonly  called  shoe  boil,  is  too 
well  known  to  require  any  explanation  from  us.  It 
Is  simply  an  enlargement  at  the  point  of  the  elbow, 
caused  by  the  result  of  the  pressure  of  the  heels 
of  the  shoes  upon  that  part.  The  peculiar  position 
in  which  the  animal  affected  lies  down;  excessive 
length  in  the  shoe  and  the  formation  of  the  animal 
with  a  cannon  bone  so  long  that  the  flexure  of  the 
knee    brings    the    heel    in    contact    with    the    elbow.

Gentlemen:— Your  Curine  is  the  best  article  I  ever 
used  for  the  ills  of  horseflesh,  such  as  Sores, 
Sprains,  Curbs,  etc.  It  is  worth  all  the  preparations 
I   ever  used   before.  C.   H.    NELSON,

Shoe  boils  vary  in  size  from  a  small  to  a  very  large 
apple. 

TREATMENT.— In  small  shoe  boils  paint  over  the 
surface  twice  daily  with  CURINE  until  cure  is  ef- 
fected. In  large  shoe  boils  it  will  be  necessary  to 
make  opening  from  below  so  that  the  fluid  will  run 
out;  in  this  case  inject  10  to  20  drops  of  CURINE 
diluted  with  four  times  the  amount  of  equal  uuan- 
tities  of  water  and  alcohol.  Inject  once  or  twice 
dally  until  cure  is  effected.

LUNG   FEVER— PNEUMONIA. 

Pneumonia  may  attack  both  lungs,  but  as  a  gen- 
eral rule  only  one  lung  is  affected,  and  in  most 
cases  it  is  the  right  lung.  In  many  cases  it  is 
brought  about  by  neglect  and  ignorance.  A  com- 
mon cold  or  sore  throat  may  run  to  pneumonia  if 
neglected  or  improperly  treated.  An  animal  may 
be  weakened  from  the  effects  of  a  cold,  and  when 
in  this  state  he  may  be  compelled  to  undergo  ex- 
ertions beyond  his  strength,  or  he  may  be  kept  in 
a  badly  ventilated  stable,  or  the  stable  may  be  open 
and  the  body  exposed  to  cold  air. 

SYMPTOMS.— Pneumonia  when  in  its  primary 
state  is  ushered  in  by  a  chill,  probably  overlooked 
by  the  attendant.  His  breathing  becomes  quick- 
ened and  he  hangs  his  head  and  has  a  dull  appear- 
ance. The  mouth  becomes  hot  and  a  fever  appears; 
If  a  thermometer  be  placed  in  the  rectum  the  tem- 
perature will  be  found  to  have  risen  to  103°  to  104* 


ENDORSED    BY    A    MEDICAL    MAN. 

Jennertown,  Pa.,  April  15,  1895. 
I  have  tried  and  examined  Dr.  TurnbuU's  prepara- 
tions, manufactured  by  H.  S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  of 
Latrobe,  Pa.,  and  find  them  as  meritorious  as  they 
claim.  They  certainly  deserve  great  credit  for  plac- 
ing such  elegant  preparations  before  the  horse 
world.

F.,  or  higher,  (when  in  health  the  temperature  of 
the  horse  should  be  about  100°  F.)  and  the  pulse 
may  be  beating  eighty  to  one  hundred  or  more  times 
to  the  minute  ^the  pulse  of  a  horse  in  health  beats 
about  forty  times  to  the  minute),  and  the  beating 
may  be  harsh  or  feeble.  There  is  usually  a  dry 
cough  from  the  beginning  and  a  discharge  from 
the  nostrils.  His  legs  are  cold,  bowels  constipated 
and  when  dung  is  passed  it  is  usually  covered  with 
a  slimy  mucus.  When  a  horse  is  affected  with 
pneumonia  he  does  not  lie  down  unless  pneumonia 
is  complicated  with  pleurisy,  in  which  he  will  lie 
down  for  a  few  moments  at  a  time.  When  a  fatal 
termination  is  approaching  all  symptoms  become 
intensified;  he  stares  around  as  if  imploring  aid, 
the  body  becomes  wet  with  sweat,  he  staggers,  but 
recovers  his  balance.  He  may  now  lie  down  for 
the  first  time  and  may  get  up  and  stagger,  and 
sway  from  side  to  side,  backward  and  forward, 
and  he  falls  to  rise  no  more. 

TREATMENT.— Place  the  animal  in  a  stable 
comfortably  warm,  but  do  not  prevent  the  access 
of  pure  air;  make  him  comfortable  with  warm 
clothing;  give  him  all  the  cold  water  he  will  drink 
from  the  start;  blanket  the  body,  rub  the  legs  un- 
til warm  and  then  bandage.  If  warmth  cannot  be 
established  by  rubbing,  apply  a  liniment  composed 
of  four  ounces  olive  oil,  two  ounces  each  of  solu- 
tion of  ammonia  and  tincture  cantharides. 

Remove  bandages  one  or  more  times  each  day; 
rub  well  and  re-apply  bandages;  rub  the  affected 
side  well  with  the  liniment  every  three  or  four 
days.  Give  the  following  drench  every  six  hours: 
Spirits  of  nitrous  ether,  one  ounce;  solution  of 
acetate  of  ammonia,  two  ounces;  bicarbonate  of 
potassium,  three  drams;  water,  one  pint.  Never 
drench  through  the  nostrils.  Give  a  capsule  of  one 
dram  of  quinine  every  three  or  four  hours  when 
fever  is  at  its  highest.  If  animal  is  much  debili- 
tated, give  six  to  eight  ounces  of  vs^^iskey  in  half- 
pint  of  water  every  four  or  five  hours.  Never  give 
a  purgative  in  case  of  lung  fever;  if  constipation 
exists,   overcome  it  by  laxative  diets,  such  as  lin- 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  19 


seed  naashes,  scalded  oats  and  bran,  or  grass,  if  in 
season.  If  the  costiveness  is  not  relieved  by  the 
laxative  diets,  give  an  injection  of  a  quart  of  warm 
water  three  times  a  day.  In  addition  to  the  laxa- 
tive diet  there  may  be  given  apples,  carrots,  or 
two  or  three  gallons  of  sweet  milk  with  a  couple 
of  eggs  broken  in  it  may  be  given  each  day  if  the 
horse  desires  it.  Never  force  the  animal  to  take 
nourishment;  remove  all  food  from  trough  or  man- 
ger and  try  him  with  nice,  clean  laxative  food  later. 


CAPPED    HOCK. 


A  capped  hock  is  the  development  of  a  bruise  at. 
the  point  of  the  hock,  caused  by  rubbing  or  striking 
the  partitions  of  their  stall  with  their  hocks,  a 
habit  which  some  horses  have.  The  external  ap- 
pearance is  sufficient  to  determine  the  diagnosis. 
They  are  an  eye-sore  and  sometimes  may  cause 
lameness.  If  your  horse  is  a  habitual  "kicker"  and 
one  that  kicks  when  he  receives  his  food,  the  best 
preventative  for  the  above  subject  is  to  pad  his 
stall,  but  notwithstanding  all  precautions,  hocks 
will  be  capped  in  the  future  as  in  the  past. 

TREATMENT.— In  the  first  stages  of  the  disease, 
apply  CURINE  three  or  four  times  daily  for  two 
weeks,  then  allow  it  to  remain  for  a  week,  and  if 
by  that  time  the  thickening  of  the  growth  fails 
to  diminish  and  there  seems  to  be  a  fluid  of  a 
purulent  character  in  it,  open  it  very  carefully  from 
below,  with  a  small  instrument,  and  after  the  fluid 
has  run  out,  inject  ten  to  fifteen  drops  of  CURINE 
diluted  with  four  times  the  amount   of  water.     In-

The  bottle  of  Curine  ordered  from  you  some  time 
ago  has  done  the  work.  It  discounts  all  other  prep- 
arations that  I  ever  saw,  and  I  would  not  be  with- 
out it  if  it  cost  $10  per  bottle.         A.  E.  RODGERS,

ject  once  daily  and  repeat  as  often  as  necessary, 
and  at  the  same  time  paint  over  the  surface  daily 
with  CURINE  in  its  purity.  You  must  have  pa- 
tience in  treating  capped  hocks,  as  in  these  parts 
the  skin  is  very  thick  and  the  absorption  is  rather 
slow. 


CORNS. 


A  corn  is  an  injury  to  the  living  horn  of  the  foot 
and  always  appears  in  that  part  of  the  sole  in- 
cluded in  the  angle  between  the  bar  and  the  out- 
side wall  of  the  hoof.  Corns  mostly  appear  in  the 
front  feet,  because  they  support  the  greater  part 
of  the  body  and  the  heel  is  always  placed  first  upon 
the  ground,  whereby  it  receives  much  more  con- 
cussion than  the  heel  of  the  hind  foot,  in  which 
the  toe  first  strikes  the  ground. 

CAUSES.— Among  the  causes  and  conditions  that 
produce  corns  may  be  placed  the  following:  Flat 
feet  which  are  easily  bruised,  high  heels,  bad  shoe- 
ing, feet  with  thin  horn,  etc.  Track  horses  going 
at  full  speed  on  hard  track,  and  heavy  breeds  gen- 
erally used  for  hauling  heavj^  loads  on  hard  streets, 
are  most  liable  to  this  trouble. 

TREATMENT.— The  cause  must  be  discovered  if 
possible  and  removed.  Pare  out  all  the  diseased 
horn,  insert  a  plug  of  oakum  in  the  cavity,  satu- 
rated with  CURINE,  once  every  other  day,  and 
apply  a  roller  bandage.  Repeat  until  a  new  horn 
covers  the  w^ound.

INFLUENZA— EPIZOODY— TYPHOID  FEVER. 

Influenza  is  a  contagious  specific  fever  of  the 
laorse.  It  stupifies  the  brain  and  nerves.  The  dis- 
ease is  very  apt  to  assume  an  epizoodic  form,  an 
attack  of  especial  organs,  as  at  one  period  the  in- 
testines, at  another  the  lungs,  heart,  etc.  It  has 
been  known  in  ancient  and  tlie  dark  ages  of  his- 
tory to  follow  the  track  of  the  great  armies  all  over 
Europe,  causing  great  losses  among  the  horses.  It 
is  more  liable  to  attack  young  horses  of  frora  two 
to  five  years  of  age.  Overfed,  fat  young  horses  and 
animals  that  do  not  have  sufficient  exercise  are 
more  susceptible  to  it. 

The  contagion  will  remain  In  an  infected  stable 
for  some  time,  or  it  may  be  carried  in  the  clothing 
of  the  attendant,  or  in  being  watered  from  the 
same  trough  or  bucket.  Creolol  should  be  used  as 
a  disinfectant  in  all  contagious  diseases,  such  as 
influenza,    epizoody,   typhoid   fever,    etc. 

Stalls,  troughs,  buckets,  curry  combs  and  all  sta- 
ble utensils  used  in  working  about  such  infected 
animals,  should  be  washed  in  a  solution  of  one 
part  creolol  to  fifty  parts  water.  The  bedding 
should  be  sprinkled  slightly  with  one  part  creolol 
to  one  hundred  parts  water. 

A  few  drops  in  the  drinking  water  three  or  four 
times  a  day  will  greatly  assist  in  the  care  of  the 
various  fevers  and  diseases  of  the  digestive  tract. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  first  is  a  fever,  which  becomes 
intense  in  a  short  time.  Within  a  period  of  twenty- 
four  hours  the  body  may  increase  in  temperature 
from  100°  F.  (normal)  to  104"  or  106°  F.  The  animal 
becomes  stupid,  stands  with  his  head  down,  and 
has  no  inclination  to  move  or  pay  any  attention  to 
the  surroundings.  The  pulse  becomes  high,  eyes 
are  puffy  and  swollen;  tears  run  down  and  may 
blister  the  skin.  If  no  other  serious  complications 
arise  from  the  effects  of  this  disease,  a  change  for 
the  better  may  be  anticipated  after  about  the  sev- 
enth day. 

TREATMENT.— Place  the  animal  in  a  comfort- 
able stall  away  from  the  other  horses  If  possible. 


22  CURINE-The  Great 


Give  small  doses  of  Glauber  or  Epsom  salts,  to 
which  may  be  added  a  little  bicarbonate  of  soda, 
from  the  start,  in  order  to  prevent  constipation  and 
its  evil  results,  but  should  diarrhoea  become  too 
great,  you  should  overcome  this  by  giving-  drinks 
made  from  boiled  starch  or  rice,  to  which  may  be 
added  one  ounce  of  laudanum,  every  three  or  four 
hours.  When  fever  is  observed  to  be  rising  rapidly 
give  two  or  three  doses  of  quinine  in  i/4-dram  cap- 
sules, or  ^4  dram  of  antimony  every  three  or  four 
hours.  This  will  reduce  the  high  fever.  If  depres- 
sion is  great  after  quinine  or  antimony  is  given, 
fluid  extract  of  aconite  may  be  given  in  doses  of 
ten  to  twenty  drops  every  three  or  four  hours.  In 
complication  of  the  lungs  give  ten  to  twenty  drops 
of  fluid  extract  of  digitalis  every  four  hours.  The 
best  way  to  administer  medicines  in  small  doses  is 
with  a  small  syringe,  placed  in  the  side  of  the 
mouth  and  thrown  on  the  tongue.  If  the  appetite 
remains,  give  moderate  quantities  of  good  hay  and 
laxative  foods,  such  as  oats,  bran  mashes,  etc. 


WINDPUFFS— WINDGALLS. 

Windpuffs.— These  eye-sores  appear  in  the  form 
of  soft  tumors  at  the  posterior  part  of  the  fetlock 
joint  and  are  generally  of  a  round  appearance.  They 
sometimes  cause  lameness  when  they  are  large 
enough  to  interfere  with  the  tendons,  or  when  they 
undergo  a  change,  such  as  calcification,  which  they

H.  S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  Latrobe,  Pa. 

Gentlemen;— The  Curine  and  Hoofine  ordered  from 
you  some  time  ago,  duly  to  hand,  and  the  applica- 
tion of  the  same  has  proven  all  you  claim  for  their 
separate  curatives,  and  I  cheerfully  recommend 
them  to  owners  and  drivers  of  horses  of  all  kinds. 
There  are  a  number  of  trainers  at  our  track,  and 
Curine  and  Hoofine  are  to  be  found  in  all  their  sta- 
bles, which   fact  talks  for  itself. 

Yours  very  truly,  W.  S.  STEELE, 

Secretary  of  Johnstown  Driving  Park.

are  likely  to  do.  They  may  be  attributed  to  exter- 
nal causes,  such  as  strains  from  heavy  pulling, 
fast   driving,   jumping,    etc. 

TREATMENT.— When  in  their  acute  stage,  paint 
with  CURIXE  twice  daily  for  one  week,  and  you 
will  have  accomplished  all  that  will  be  desired.  If 
the  animal  is  in  training,  apply  a  cold  water  band- 
age for  one  hour  after  work,  remove  and  when  dry 
paint  with  CURINE  diluted  with  equal  quantities 
of  water  and  alcohol,  Qnce  daily.  If  the  trouble  has 
become  chronic  and  the  enlargement  of  long  dura- 
tion, apply  CURIXE  twice  daily  for  one  week,  then 
let  it  remain  for  another  week,  and  if  the  trouble 
has  not  all  disappeared  apply  CURIXE  again,  same 
as  before.  Wash  every  other  day  with  warm  water 
and  soap,  prior  to  using  the  compound,  and  when 
drv-    apply    the    paint. 


LOCK-JAW— TETAXIS. 

Lock-Jaw  is  characterized  by  spasms  affecting 
the  muscles  of  the  body,  legs,  face  and  neck,  of  all 
the  muscles  supplied  by  the  cerebrospinal  nerves. 

CAUSES.— It  is  mostly  caused  by  wounds,  espe- 
cially pricks  or  wounds  of  the  feet.  It  sometimes 
follows  castration  or  docking,  and  may  not  appear 
for  two  or  three  months  after  the  wound  has 
healed.  Horses  of  a  nervous  disposition  are  more 
subject  to  it  than  those  of  a  sluggish  nature,  and 
stallions  are  more  apt  to  develop  tetanis,  as  a  re- 
sult of  wounds,  than  geldings  or  mares. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  first  symptom  that  you  will 
notice  is  difficulty  in  chewing  and  swallowing,  an 
elevation  of  the  head,  etc.  An  examination  of  the 
mouth  will  reveal  his  inability  to  open.it  to  its  full

Gentlemen:— We  think  your  Curine  is  invaluable.

extent.  The  muscles  become  rigid;  tail  usually  ele- 
vated. These  symptoms  become  aggravated  and 
the  muscles  rigid.  Jaws  completely  set;  nostrils  di- 
lated, and  he  presents  a  picture  of  great  agony  un- 
til death  relieves  him.  All  symptoms  may  increase 
for  eight  to  ten  days,  and  then  diminish  under  ju- 
dicial treatment. 

TREATMENT.— The  animal  should  be  placed  in 
a  box  stall  in  as  quiet  a  place  as  possible.  Remove 
all  bedding;  keep  the  plaee  moderately  dark  and 
the  attendant  must  be  as  quiet  as  possible  about 
him.  Give  him  one  ounce  of  Barbadoes  aloes  made 
up  in  form  of  a  ball,  or  a  quart  of  raw  linseed  oil. 
If  the  jaws  are  set  and  you  cannot  open  his  mouth 
sufficiently,  dissolve  the  aloes  in  a  couple  ounces 
of  sweet  oil  and  throw  on  the  back  of  the  tongue 
with  a  syringe.  If  the  jaws  are  set  give  an  injec- 
tion under  the  skin  every  four  hours,  of  one-fourth 
of  a  grain  of  atropia  and  five  grains  of  sulphate  of 
morphia  dissolved  in  one  dram  of  water.  Keep  a 
pail  of  water  constantly  before  him.,  placed  high, 
so  he  can  put  his  mouth  in  it  without  exerting  him- 
self. If  he  is  unable  to  swallow  inject  gruel  and 
milk  into  the  rectum  in  order  to  keep  his  strength 
up. 


CURB. 

Curb. — This  lesion  is  the  bulging  backward  of  the 
posterior  part  of  the  hock.  It  may  be  caused  by  a 
sprain  of  the  strong  ligament  or  tendon  on  the 
back  part  of  the  hock.  This  condition  is  mostly 
found  on  hocks  of  a  curby  nature.  It  may  also  be 
caused  by  slipping,  jumping  or  pulling  heavy  loads. 


FROM  A  PRACTICAL  MAN. 

BIttsburg,   Pa.,   Oct.   25,   1895. 
H.   S.    Bossart   &    Co. 

Gentlemen:— I  have  been  using  your  Curine,  and  I 
find  it  the  best  preparation  that  I  have  ever  seen 
or  used.  CLARENCE  HENDERSON, 

Owner  and  driver  of  Frank  T.,  2:17i^,  and  Maud  E.,

American  Veterinary  Remedy.  25 


A  curb  is  an  "unsoundness,",  as  the  hock  thus  af- 
fected  is  less   liable   to   endure   severe   labor. 

TREATMENT.— On  the  first  appearance  of  a  curb 
subdue  the  Inflammation  by  the  use  of  hot  fomen- 
tations, then  paint  with  Dr.  Turnbull's  CURINE 
over  the  affected  part,  twice  a  day  for  one  week; 
wash  every  other  day  with  -vrarm  water  and  soap, 
and  when  dry  apply  CURINE.  In  curbs  of  lorig 
standing-  it  may  be  neceseary  to  repeat  the  treat- 
ment for  a  couple  of  weeks. 


SPLINTS. 


A  splint  is  a  certain  bony  enlargement  which  is 
developed  on  the  cannon  bone  between  the  knee 
or  hock  and  the  fetlock  joint  and  are  usually  found 
on  the  inside  of  the  leg.  They  vary  in  size  from 
that  of  a  large  nut  to  merely  nothing,  and  in 
searching  for  them  they  may  be  easily  detected  by 
the  hand,  but  must  be  distinguished  from  a  small 
enlargement  at  the  lower  third  of  the  cannon  bone, 
which  is  no  splint,  but  merely  a  normal  develop- 
ment of  the  small  cannon  bone.  A  splint  may  fre- 
quently cause  lameness,  and  when  near  the  knee- 
joint  the  lameness  is  more  apt  to  become  aggra- 
vated. 

CAUSES.— Splints  ar©  mostly  caused  by  external 
hurts,  such  as  blows  or  collisions,  or  in  speeding  he 
may  strike  the  inside  of  his  leg  with  his  opposite 
foot  and  thus  start  the  growth;  or  too  much  ex- 
cessive strain  or  labor  upon  a  young  animal  at  a 
too  early  period  in  his  life. 

THE   BEST   REMEDY. 

Elyria  Stock  Farm,  Elyria,  O.,  Oct.  23,  1895. 

Gentlemen:— I  have  been  using  your  Curlne,  and 
am  pleased  to  say  it  is  the  best  remedy  for  Splints, 
Curbs,  Ringbones,  etc.,  that  I  have  ever  used,  and 
I  think  no  stable  complete  without  it.

Driver  of  Gertrude,  2:12;  Peveril,  2:14,  etc. 


26  CURINE-The  Great 


TREATMENT.— As  soon  as  the  splint  is  located, 
paint  with  CURINE  twice  daily  for  one  week.  If 
of  long  standing  it  will  have  become  almost  as  hard 
as  bone  and  you  will  probably  have  to  keep  the 
treatment  up  for  two  or  three  weeks. 


SORES— SUMMER    SORES. 

These  sores  are  small  at  first  and  may  appear  at 
any  point,  but  they  are  more  likely  to  appear  on 
the  legs  or  where  the  harness  presses  on  the  body. 
These  sores  contain  parasites  and  cause  intense 
itching,  and  the  victim  rubs  and  bites  them  until 
extensive   raw  surfaces   are   produced. 

TREATMENT. — Place  in  a  cool  place  and  sponge 
very  carefully  with  cold  water;  then,  in  order  to 
remove  the  pus  and  kill  the  parasite,  paint  with 
CURINE  and  then  cover  the  surface  of  the  wound 
by  dusting  it  with  iodoform.  Repeat  once  a  day 
for  two  weeks  or  until  the  sore  heals  up,  as  these 
wounds  are  very  obstinate  and  often  require  months 
to  heal. 


RUPTURE   OF  THE   SUSPENSORY  LIGAMENT. 

Sprain,  with  or  without  rupture,  of  the  suspensory 
ligament,  may  happen  in  any  leg.  Old  animals  and 
especially  trotters,  paces  and  runners,  are  the  most 
subject  to  this  injury,  and  +he  trouble  is  nearly 
always  in  one,  or  both,  fore  legs.  Horses  used  for 
heavy  draught  are  more  liable  to  have  the  hind  leg 
affected.  One,  or  both,  of  the  branches  may  be 
torn  from  their  attachment  to  the  sesamoid  bones; 
or  the  ligament  may  rupture  above  the  point  of 
division. 

TREATMENT.— No  matter  how  mild  the  sprain 
of  the  suspensory  ligament  may  be,  it  should  al- 
ways be  treated  with  enforced  rest  for  a  jnonth. 
Bathe  thoroughly  at  once  with  cold  water,  and 
apply  cold  water  bandages  until  the  fever  has  sub- 
sided,  then   paint   with   CURINE    twice  a  day   for 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  27 


one  week;  now  let  it  remain  for  one  week,  but  dur- 
ing this  time  wash  it  every  other  day  with  warm 
water  and  soap.  Paint  with  CURINE  for  another 
week,  same  as  before,  and  the  following  week  wash 
again  with  warm  water  and  soap.  At  the  end  of 
one  month  from  the  time  he  was  laid  up,  he  may 
be  able  to  walk  around  slowly.  It  will  be  useless 
to  expect  a  removal  of  all  the  thickening,  for  new 
tissues  have  formed,  and  it  will  always  remain 
somewhat  enlarged. 


BOTS. 

Cobbold,  who  is  considered  the  best  authority 
on  this  subject,  says:  "The  common  gad-fly  at- 
tacks the  animal  ,while  grazing  late  in  the  summer, 
its  object  being,  not  to  derive  sustenance,  but  to 
deposit  its  eggs.  This  is  accomplished  by  means 
of  a  glutinous  excretion,  causing  the  ova  (eggs)  to 
adhere  to  the  hairs.  The  parts  selected  are  chiefly 
those  of  the  shoulder,  base  of  the  neck,  and  inner 
part  of  the  fore  legs,  especially  about  the  knees, 
for  in  these  situations  the  horse  will  have  no  dif- 
ficulty in  reaching  the  ova  with  its  tongue.  When 
the  animal  licks  those  parts  of  the  coat  where  the 
eggs  have  been  placed  the  moisture  of  the  tongue, 
aided  by  warmth,  hatches  the  ova,  and  in  some- 
thing less  than  three  weeks  from  the  time  of  the 
deposition  of  the  eggs  the  larvae  have  made  their 
escape.  As  maggots  they  are  next  transferred  to 
the  miouth  and  ultimately  to  the  stomach  along 
with  food  and  drink.  A  great  many  larvae  perish 
during  this  passive  mode  of  immigration,  some  be- 
ing dropped  from  the  mouth  and  others  being 
crushed  in  the  fodder  during  mastication.  It  has 
been  calculated  that  out  of  the  many  hundreds  of 
eggs  deposited  on  a  single  horse  scarcely  one  out 
of  fifty  of  the  larvae  arrive  within  the  stomach. 
Notwithstanding  this  waste  the  interior  of  the 
stomach  may  become  completely  covered  (cuti- 
cular  portion)  with  bots.  Whether  there  be  few  or 
many  they  are  anchored  in  this  situation  chiefly  by 
means  of  two  large  cephalic  hooks.    After  the  bots 


28  OURINE-The  Great 


have  attained  perfect  growth  they  voluntarily 
loosen  their  hold  and  allow  themselves  to  be  car- 
ried along  the  alimentary  canal  until  they  escape 
with  the  feces.  In  all  cases  they  sooner  or  later 
fall  to  the  ground  and  when  transferred  to  the  soil 
they  bury  themselves  beneath  the  surface  In  order 
to  undergo  transformation  into  the  pupa  condition. 
Having  remained  in  the  earth  for  a  period  of  six 
or  seven  weeks  they  finally  emerge  from  their  pu- 
pal-cocoons as  perfect  dipterus  (winged)  insects, 
the  gad-fJy.  It  thus  appears  that  bots  ordinarily 
pass  about  eight  months  of  their  lifetime  in  the  di- 
gestive  organs  of  the  horse." 

It  is  a  very  common  expression  to  hear  by- 
standers exclaim:  "Your  horse  has  the  bots," 
when  the  animal  is  suffering  from  some  internal 
pain.  Bots  in  large  numbers  may  interfere  some- 
what with  digestion,  but  beyond  this  they  are  as  a 
general  thing  harmless.  They  loosen  their  hold 
during  the  spring  months  and  pass  out  in  large 
numbers,  but  so  far  as  medicine  is  concerned,  none 
is  necessary.  In  order  to  prevent  the  horse  from 
having  bots,  it  would  be  necessary  to  scrape  off 
all  the  eggs  deposited  by  the  gad-fly  and  destroy 
them. 


OVERREACH. 


This  trouble  is  caused  by  the  shoe  of  the  hind  foot 
striking  the  quarters  or  heel  of  the  fore  foot.  It 
mostly  happens  when  the  animal  is  going  at  speed 
and  is  more  common  among  trotters,  pacers  aad 
runners. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  quarter  or  heel  is  cut  and 
bruised,  or  the  horse  may  grab  and  pull  his  front 
shoe  off.  Horses  accustomed  to  overreaching  are 
very  "bad  breakers,"  owing  to  the  pain  which  ex- 
cites them. 

■'  ■ 

TREATMENT.— If  th©  parts  are  cut,  bathe 
thoroughly  with  cold  water,  and  dress  the  wound 
with  CURINE  diluted  with  three  to  four  times 
water,  place  a  little    cotton    or    oakum    over    the 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  2d 


wound  and  apply  a  cold  damp  roller  bandage.  This 
should  be  repeated  once  daily  for  one  week.  If  only 
a  bruise,  apply  CURINE  as  above  and  use  a  cold 
wet  bandage  for  a   couple  of  days. 


WORMS. 


There  are  several  species  of  worms  found  in  the 
intestines,  and  they  appear  most  frequently  in 
young,  weak  and  debilitated  animals. 

SYMPTOMS. — Depraved  appetite,  bowels  irregu- 
lar, hide  bound,  pot  bellied,  bat  coat,  hair  standing 
up,  etc.  The  best  symptoms  is  seeing  the  animal 
pass  them  in  his  dung. 

TREATMENT.— Feed  bran  mashes  for  a  day  or 
two  and  then  give  the  following:  Tartar  emetic 
six  drams,  calomel  one  dram;  mix  and  divide  into 
six  powders  and  give  -one  each  day  in  his  feed.  No 
physic  necessary.  If  pin  worms  are  present,  inject 
into  the  rectum  an  infusion  of  tobacco  once  a  day 
for  a  few  days. 


SHOULDER  LAMENESS. 

Shoulder  lameness.— This  trouble  is  most  frequent- 
ly caused  by  a  sprain  lacerating  the  muscles,  ten- 
dons, or  the  ligaments  of  the  joint.  The  sprain  may 
be  caused  by  slipping,  starting  a  heavy  load,  jump- 
ing, a  quick  muscular  movement,  or  from  a  power- 
ful  concussion. 


WORTH  ONE   HUNDRED   DOLLARS  TO   THEM. 

Hammond,   Ind.,  Jan.  23,  1S96. 

H.  S.  BOSSART  &  CO.,   Latrobe,   Pa. 

Gentlemen. — In  three  weeks  Curine  removed  an 
enlargement  on  a  valuable  colt's  leg.  Prior  to  this 
we  had  doctored  him  for  one  year  without  any  ef- 
fect whatever.  The  one  bottle  was  worth  one  hun- 
dred dollars  to  us.  and  we  think  that  every  horse- 
man in  the  land  should  know  of  its  merits.  Please 
send  us  six  bottles,  as  we  want  to  sell  it  for  you. 
Yours  truly, 

J.  B.   SMITH  &  CO., 

Wholesale  and  Retail  Grocers. 


80  CURINE-The  Great 


SYMPTOMS.— Continual  lameness  and  some- 
times swelling  will  appear  at  the  point  of  injury. 
The  peculiar  swing-ing-  manner  in  which  he  carries 
his  leg  forward  while  trotting  or  walking.  In  back- 
ing him  he  will  sometimes  drag  the  whole  leg, 
seemingly  without   any  motion  in  the  upper  part. 

TREATMENT.—If  the  lameness  is  severe,  give 
the  animal  rest;  bathe  the  shoulder  thoroughly  with 
warm  water  twice  a  day,  and  when  dry,  paint  with 
DR.  TURNBULL'S  CURINE.  Repeat  twice  a  day 
for  one  week,  then  allow  it  to  remain  for  one  week 
and  if  the  lameness  is  not  entirely  removed  apply 
the  same  treatment  for  another  week.  If  the 
lameness  is  not  severe  and  the  horse  must  be 
worked,  apply  CURINE  once  a  day  for  one  week. 


CALK   WOUNDS. 


Animals  wearing  sharp  calks  are  liable  to  strike 
or  tramp  themselves  about  the  coronary  regions. 
Driving  horses  calked  for  driving  on  icy  roads  are 
very  apt  to  strike  the  guarters  of  the  front  feet, 
while  in  the  hind  feet,  the  wound  often  results 
from  the  animal  resting  with  the  heel  of  one  foot 
on   the  front  of  the   other. 

TREATMENT.— Follow  the  same  treatment  as 
directed  for  overreach  on  page  28.

Gentlemen: — This  is  to  certify  that  I  have  used

cine I  have  ever  used  for  lameness  in  horses  of  any 
kind,  and  particularly  for  thrush.  It  will  cure  any

out it.  Yours  truly,  *J.  H.   LANE.

horses  are  more  subject  to  this  disease  than  coun- 
try 'horses,  owing  to  them  remaining  in  filthy 
stables. 

CAUSES.— Animals  standing  in  filthy  stalls;  sud- 
den changes  of  dryness  to  excessive  moisture. 
Hard  driving  on  rough  roads  may  also  induce  this 
disease. 

SYMPTOMS.— An  offensive  smell  in  the  cleft  of 
the  frog;  later  a  watery  discharge,  changing  to  a 
mattery  substance,  and  as  the  case  becomes  older, 
lameness   may   be   noticed, 

TREATMENT.— Keep  the  stall  clean.  Cut  the 
diseased  portion  of  the  horn  away,  clean  the  cleft 
of  the  frog  thoroughly,  then  saturate  the  cleft  and 
grooves  well  with  CITRINE  and  dress  with  roller 
bandage  or  leather  boot  to  keep  the  dirt  out.  Re- 
peat once  daily  for  one  week.  Keep  the  boot  or 
bandage  on  for  another  week  and  if  a  cure  is  not 
effected,   repeat  for  another  week. 


SCRATCHES— CRACKED  HEELS. 

This  usually  starts  with  heat  and  swelling  in  the 
hollow  of  the  heel,  with  stiffness  and  lameness  in 
many  cases;  slight  cracks  with  a  tendency  to  en- 
large soon  appear.  It  maj''  extend  from  the  back 
of  the  knee,  or  hock,   to  the  hoof. 

CAUSES.— Imperfect  nourishment,  cold  draughts, 
snow,  and  freezing  mud,  hot  and  dirty  stables, 
overfeeding  on  grain,  washing  the  legs  and  failing 
to   thoroughly   dry  them,    or  wrapping   the    legs    in 


THE  OWNER   OF    CORPORAL,    2:12V2. 

Columbus,  Neb.,  April  28,  1897. 

H.   S.   Bossart  &  Co.,   Latrobe,   Pa, 

Gentlemen:— During  the  spring  meeting  at  Den- 
ver in  1896  my  horse,  the  Corporal,  went  lame  in  a 
race.  I  tried  everything  last  summer  to  cure  him, 
but  with  no  success.  During  this  spring  I  bought  a 
bottle  of  Curine,  and  in  ten  days  he  was  working 
as  sound  as  a  dollar.  Yours  truly, 

C,  E.   MORSE. 


)2  CURINE— The  Great 


wool    bandages    before    they    are    dry.    clipping    the 
heels,   or  long  hair  from   pastern,  etc. 

TREATMENT.— Remove  all  dirt  thoroughly  with 
warm  water,  and  when  well  dried  paint  with  CUR- 
INE twice  daily  for  one  week,  diluted  with  two  to 
four  times  equal  quantities  water  and  alcohol. 
Bandage  with  a  dry  cotton  bandage.  Give  a  small 
handful  of  Epsom  or  Glauber  salts  in  feed,  twice  a 
day  for  a  week  or  so. 


PULSE. 


The  Pulse  or  Heart  in  standard  or  thoroughbred 
horses,  when  in  health  and  at  complete  rest,  should 
beat  forty  to  forty-flve  times  in  a  minute,  while  in 
a  heavy  or  coarse-bred  animal  it  may  only  beat 
thirty-five  to  forty  times  a  minute.  Work  or  ex- 
citement increases  the  pulsation. 


RESPIRATION. 


A  horse,  when  at  complete  rest  and  in  good 
health,  breathes  thirteen  to  fifteen  times  in  a  min- 
ute. Excitement  or  work  will  increase  the  breath- 
ine:. 


TEMPERATURE. 


The  temperature  of  a  horse  in  health  may  be 
placed  at  about  100°  F.  Standard  and  thorough- 
breds may  be  as  high  as  101°  F.  Mares  have  a 
higher  temperature  than  stallions  or  geldings.  Ex- 
ercise increases  the   temperature. 


BIG  LEG— LYMPHANGITIS. 

Big  Leg. — This  disease  is  an  inflammation  of  the 
lymphatic  structures  and  mostly  appears  in  the 
hind  leg.  It  is  very  sudden  and  painful,  accom- 
panied with  a  high  temperature. 


American  Veterinary  Remedy  33 


SYMPTOMS.— Animal  becomes  chilly  with  rising 
temperature,  followed  by  lameness  and  swelling. 
The  swelling-  appears  at  the  inside  of  the  thigh  and 
continues  down  to  the  foot.  The  swelling  and  tem- 
perature will  increase  for  a  couple  of  days  and 
then  commence  to  recede.  It  generally  leaves  a 
permanent  enlargement,  unless  very  careful  atten- 
tion is  given  the  animal. 

TREATMENT.— Bathe  the  leg  well  with  strong 
ammonia  water,  to  which  add  about  one  quart  of 
vinegar  to  each  gallon.  Bathe  thoroughly  every 
half-hour  for  eight  or  ten  hours,  then  dry  the  leg 
well  and  bathe  with  a  solution  of  CURINE  diluted 
with  five  times  equal  quantities  water  and  alcohol. 
Give  ten  to  twenty  drops  each,  fluid  extract  aconite 
and  digitalis  every  two  hours  until  fever  is  reduced. 
If  at  the  end  of  a  week  or  so  some  enlargement  still 
remains,  paint  with  CURINE  diluted  with  equal 
quantities  water  and  alcohol  twice  daily  for  two 
weeks.  Wash  thoroughly  every  other  day  with 
warm  water  and  soap  and  when  dry  apply  the 
CURINE. 


INDIGESTION. 

The  cause  of  indigestion  is  found  to  vary  in  dif- 
ferent horses.  The  seat  of  the  trouble  is  mostly 
in  the  stomach  or  small  intestines,  and  may  be 
caused  by  bad  teeth,  bolting  of  the  food,  irregular 
feeding,  or  wintering  on  bulky  food,  such  as  corn- 
stalks, bad   hay,   etc. 

SYMPTOMS.— Irregular    and    depraved    appetite; 
bowels   irregular;    refusing    food    at    times,    and    at 
others  eating  ravenously;  skin  very  hard  and  hide 
bound.

Danbury,   Conn.,  June  28,  1897. 
H.  S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  Latrobe,  Pa. 

Gentlemen:— Please  send  us  one-half  dozen  bot- 
tles Curine.  We  have  been  using  this  remedy  for 
the  past  year  with  the  very  best  of  success. 

Yours  truly,  RUNDLE  &  WHITE. 


34  CURINE-The  Great 


TREATMENT.— See  that  the  food  is  of  the  right 
kind  and  that  he  is  fed  regularly.  If  the  teeth  are 
in  bad  shape,  have  them  attended  to  at  once.  Give 
the  following:  Nux  vomica,  one  ounce;  sulphate 
of  iron,  one  ounce;  gentian,  two  ounces.  Mix  and 
divide  into  twenty-one  powders  and  give  one  in  his 
feed  each  meal. 


CHAFING. 


These  wounds  are  caused  by  the  chafing  of  the 
harness,  collar  or  saddle,  and  are  most  common  in 
the  spring  of  the  year,  when  the  animal's  skin  is 
tender.  The  harness  and  collars  should  be  well 
cleaned  and  oiled  before  the  spring  work  is  to  be 
commenced,  and  see  that  your  harness  and  collar 
fit  the  animal  in  the  proper  way,  as  ill-fitting  col- 
lars, in  particular,  are  apt  to  cause  sore  shoulders 
at  any  time.  After  the  work  for  the  day  is  done, 
bathe  the  shoulders  and  the  back  where  the  saddle 
rests  well  with  cold  water,  and  should  you  wish  the 
Skin  to  become  tough,  bathe  with  a  solution  of 
white-oak  bark. 

TREATMENT.— This  is  very  simple  if  the  cause 
be  removed  at  once.  Wash  well  with  warm  water 
and  soap,  then  paint  over  the  surface  twice  daily 
with  CURINE  diluted  with  ten  times  equal  quan- 
tities of  water  and  alcohol,  until  a  cure  is  effected. 


WOUNDS— PUNCTURED. 

Punctured  wounds  are  much  more  common  than 
any  other  wounds  of  the  horse,  and  are  produced 
by  a  blunt  or  sharp  substance,  such  as  the  puncture 
of  a  fork  or  nails,  etc.  These  w^ounds  most  fre- 
quently happen  to  the  legs  and  feet  and  should  have 
prompt  attention.  The  puncture  of  the  foot  is  the 
most  serious  and  may  be  caused  by  stepping  on 
a  nail  or  pieces  of  iron;  or  in  shoeing,  a  nail  may 
be  driven  too  near  or  into  the  quick.  If  the  nail 
be  removed  at  once  he  may  not  show  any  lameness 
at  the  present  time,  but,  unless  properly  attended 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  35 


to,  he  may  become  very  lame  in  a  day  or  two.  If 
the  nail  remains  in  the  foot  the  animal  will  become 
worse  from  the  start,  until  the  cause  is  removed 
and  proper  attention  given  to  it.  If  a  smith  should 
drive  a  nail  too  close  to  the  quick,  lameness  may 
not  make  its  appearance  for  a  week  or  more. 

TREATMENT.— The  pain  from  wounds  in  the 
feet  are  very  severe;  the  animal  will  raise  and 
lower  the  limb  and  the  tendons  and  the  fetlock 
may  swell.  Have  the  shoe  removed  at  once;  draw 
the  nails  separately,  and  notice  if  there  is  any  mat- 
ter in  the  nail  holes;  if  not,  examine  the  nails  for 
moisture.  If  no  indication  of  trouble  is  revealed, 
pinch  or  tap  the  foot  carefully,  and  if  pain  is  indi- 
cated at  any  special  point,  pare  the  sole  down  thin 
and  when  the  proper  place  is  located  cut  through 
the  sole  at  this  spot.  Remove  all  the  sole  that  has 
been  undermined  with  pus.  Poultice  the  foot  for  a 
couple  of  days  with  linseed  meal  and  then  insert  in 
cavity  a  plug  of  oakum  or  cotton  saturated  with 
CURINE  once  daily  until  cure  is  effected.  Apply 
roller  bandage  around  foot  if  necessary.  The  horse 
should  be  shod  with  a  leather  sole  under  shoe 
packed  with  cotton  or  oakum,  to  keep  dirt  from 
entering  the  wound. 


SORE  THROAT. 


Inflammation  of  the  larynx  is  a  serious  disease 
and  is  usually  complicated  with  inflammation  of  the 
pharynx  and   is  commonly   called  sore   throat. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  first  symptoms  noticed  is  a 
difficulty  in  swallowing,  followed  by  a  cough.     The

H.  S.   Bossart  &  Co. 

Gentlemen:— We  have  given  your  Curine  a  thor- 
ough trial  in  our  stable,  and  must  say  that  its  work 
surpasses  that  of  any  other  absorbent  we  have 
used.  It  is  worth  its  weight  in  gold  when  used  on 
a  valuable  horse. 

FRANK   STARR,    W.    H     BOYCE. 

Owners  of  Brightlight,   2:08i4. 


36  CURINE— The  Great 


mouth  becomes  hot  and  the  glands  swollen;  mem- 
brane in  the  nostrils  becomes  a  reddish  color  and  a 
discharge  soon   appears. 

TREATMENT.— Place  the  animal  in  a  comfort- 
able stall.  Blanket  the  body  and  apply  dry  band- 
ages on  the  legs.  Place  a  small  handful  of  hay  in 
a  bucket  and  pour  a  pail  full  of  boiling  water  over 
it.  Hold  the  animal's  head  over  the  pail  and  let 
him  inhale  the  steam  for  fifteen  minutes;  keep  stir- 
ring with  a  wisp  of  hay  in  order  to  cause  the  steam 
to  raise  more  freely.  Repeat  every  hour  until  re- 
lieved. Rub  the  throat,  from  ear  to  ear,  well  with 
CURINE,  twice  a  day  for  three  or  four  days.  His 
diet  should  be  of  a  laxative  order,  but  should  con- 
stipation exist,  give  him  an  injection  of  warm  water 
every  six  hours  for  a  day  or  two.  Keep  a  pail  full 
of  cold  water  before  him  all  the  time,  on  a  level 
with  his  head,  so  that  he  will  not  inflict  pain  by 
raising  or  lowering  his  head.  Should  suffocation 
seem  inevitable,  call  in  a  qualified  veterinary  and 
have  him  perform   tracheotomy. 

For  swollen   or     suppurated   glands     always     use 
CURINE.    Paint  twice  a  day  until  cure  is  effected. 


SIDE   BONES. 


A  sidebone  is  the  transformation  of  the  lateral 
cartilages  found  on  the  wings  of  the  coffin  bone 
into  bony  matter  by  the  deposition  of  lime  salts. 
The  disease  is  common  among  all  kinds  of  horses. 
They  mostly  appear  in  the  front  feet  and  are  of  a 
slow  growth.  They  cause  lameness  when  devel- 
oped. They  may  be  caused  by  injuries  of  the  car- 
tilages, or  from  the  weight  of  the  animal. 

TREATMENT.— If  feverish  and  sore,  apply  cold 
water  bandages  for  a  couple  of  days  until  the  in- 
flammation has  disappeared,  then  paint  thoroughly 
with  CURINE,  two  or  three  times  a  day  for  a  week. 
If,  upon  returning  to  work,  the  trouble  reappears, 
repeat  the  treatment. 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  37 


SPRAINS. 

When  sprains  occur  in  the  legs,  apply  cold  water 
bandages-  until  fever  is  reduced,  and  then  paint 
with  CURINE  twice  daily  until  cure  is  effected. 

When  in  the  shoulder,  bathe  thoroughly  and  paint 
with  CURINE  twice  a  day  until  relieved.  Let  the 
animal  rest  for  a  week. 


ABSCESSES. 


Abscesses  may  be  caused  by  bad  fitting  collars, 
colds,  distemper,  inflammation  in  the  glands  or 
muscular  tissue.  At  first  the  swelling  is  hard,  but 
in  a  little  while  it  becomes  soft,  mostly  in  the  cen- 
ter. 

TREATMENT.— If  they  are  slow  in  coming  to  a 
head,  paint  over  the  affected  part  twice  a  day  with 
CURINE.  When  they  come  to  a  head,  open  them 
at  the  softest  spot  and  squeeze  the  pus  out  gently. 
Sponge  it  thoroughly  with  warm  water  a  couple  of 
times  a  day  and  keep  the  wound  open  for  two  or 
three  daj's.  Inject  ten  to  fifteen  drops  of  CURINE 
once  daily,  diluted  with  four  times  water. 


PLEURISY. 


The  pleura  is  the  thin  membrane  that  covers  the 
lungs  and  the  internal  wall  of  the  chest.  In  health 
the  pleura  throws  off  a  fluid  to  prevent  a  friction 
between  the  lungs  and  the  other  parts  which  come 
in  contact  with  them.  When  the  pleura  fails  to 
throw  off  the  fluid,   there  is  a  friction  that  causes

TIONEER. 

Ravenna,  Ohio,  Feb.  10,  1896. 
H.  S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  Latrobe,  Pa. 

Gentlemen:— The  bottle  of  Curine  T  ordered  from 
you  did  its  work  to  perfection.  For  Wind  Puffs  and 
ugly  sores  on  horses  I  believe  it  has  no  eQual.  It 
is  indispensable  in  the  stable  of  a  humane  horse 
owner.  Yours  sincerely,  L.   H.   BEAN. 


38  CURINE— The  Great 


inflammation  of  the  membrane,  and  we  liave  what 
is  called  pleurisy. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  animal  becomes  sort  of  stiff 
and  has  no  inclination  to  turn  or  move  about.  He 
may  act  as  though  he  had  pain;  elbows  and  feet 
turned  out;  scarcely  notice  his  ribs  moving  when 
breathing,  as  each  breath  causes  pain.  His  ears 
and  legs  are  cold,  temperature  and  pulse  high.  If 
you  strike  the  ribs  in  different  places  with  your 
knuckles,  you  will  come  to  the  affected  part  and 
the  animal  will  evince  great  pain,  or  groan.  The 
trouble  may  terminate  favorably  in  six  or  eight 
days.  In  some  cases  swelling  may  appear  under 
the  chest  and  down  the  legs,  and  if  the  fluid  con- 
tains pus  it  generally  proves  fatal. 

TREATMENT.— Place  in  a  comfortable  stall, 
with  plenty  of  pure  air.  Blanket  the  body  and  ap- 
ply dry  bandages  to  the  legs;  give  a  laxative  diet 
and  a  plentiful  supply  of  cold  water.  Give  from  a 
half  to  a  pint  of  raw  linseed  oil  and  apply  hot 
fomentations  to  the  breast.  If  he  should  show 
pain  give  two  ounces  tincture  of  opium  every  four 
hours  for  a  day  or  two.  From  the  beginning  give 
the  following  drench  three  times  a  day:  Solution 
of  the  acetate  of  ammonia,  two  ounces;  bicarbon- 
ate of  potassium,  one-half  ounce;  spirits  of  nitrous 
ether,  two  ounces;  water,  one-half  to  one  pint.  In 
three  or  four  days,  when  the  fever  and  pain  have 
somewhat  subsided,  rub  the  breast  and  affected 
side,  or  sides,  once  a  day  with  CURINE  diluted 
with  equal  quantities  of  water  and  alcohol.  This 
will  greatly  promote  the  absorption  of  the.  effusion. 


CRAMP  OF  THE  LEG. 

A  cramp  of  the  leg  may  be  due  to  an  irritatio:i 
of  the  nerves  of  the  thigh;  or  it  may  come  in  cold 
weather,  and  it  comes  sometimes  after  severe  ex- 
ercise. The  leg  is  cold  and  the  animal  can  scarcely 
move  it.  It  may  be  of  short  duration  and  it  may 
continue  for  a  week. 

TREATMENT.— Rub  the  muscles  well  with  CUR- 
INE and  repeat  twice  a  day  until  they  are  relaxed. 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  39 


HIP- LAMENESS. 

Hip  disease  or  lameness  is  similar  in  its  causes 
and  results  to  that  of  shoulder  lameness,  and  is 
mostly  caused  by  a  sprain  which  may  be  brought 
about  by  overexertion,  slipping,  etc.  It  will,  of 
course,  manifest  itself  by  signs  and  appearances 
and  is  more  marked  when  the  bones  are  diseased 
than  when  the  muscles  are  affected.  In  examining 
for  hip  joint  disease,  the  lame  side  will  be  found 
to  be  fuller,  more  developed  and  warmer.  Grasp 
the  foot  and  produce  a  passive  motion,  and  when 
the  foot  is  dropped  to  the  grolind  it  will  produce 
pain.  If  the  animal  is  moved  along  at  a  fair  gait 
the   trouble  will  also   be   noticeable. 

TREATMENT.— Give  the  horse  rest  and  paint 
with  Dr.  Turnbull's  CURIXE  over  the  affected  part 
twice  a  day  for  one  week,  or  until  a  cure  is  effected. 
In  hip  lameness  the  CURIXE  can  be  used  more 
freely  as  the  seat  of  the  lameness  is  very  deep. 


SCOURS— DIARRHEA. 

Horses  that  have  long  legs,  and  long  and  flat 
bodies,  are  more  subject  to  diarrhea  than  those  of 
a  blocky  build,  and  more  especially  if  fed  and  wa- 
tered immediately  before  driving,  although  any  ani- 
mal is  liable  to  scours  from  many  different  causes, 
such  as  an  inflammatory  condition  of  the  intestinal 
canal  or  its  annexed  organs;  or  it  may  be  due  from 
eating  musty  food,  bad  condition  of  the  teeth,  im- 
pure water,  etc. 

TREATMEXT.— The  first  thing  to  look  after  is 
the  kind  of  water  and  food  he  has  been  getting,  and 
if  either  of  these  are  at  fault  discontinue  them  at 
once.  If  it  results  from  some  irritant  in  the  intes- 
tines, give  a  pint  of  raw  linseed  oil  and  the  diar- 


When  you  ask  your  dealer  for  Dr.  Turnbull's 
CURIXE,  see  that  you  get  the  genuine.  The 
signature  of  W.  A.  W.  Turnbull,  V.  M.  D.. 
will  be  found  upon  the  wrapper  on  every 
bottle  of  CURINE. 


40  CURINE— The  Great 


rhea  will  mostly  disappear  after  the  operation  of 
the  oil  ceases;  but  should  the  purging  continue,  it 
can  be  easily  checked  by  giving  buckwheat  or  wheat 
flour  in  water;  or  two  ounces  of  laudanum;  or  two 
ounces  of  paregoric  three  times  a  day.  Afterwards 
feed  a  laxative  diet  for  a  few  days. 


TOE    AND    QUARTPJR   CRACKS. 

Toe  cracks  nearly  always  affect  the  hind  feet, 
while  quarter  cracks  are  most  common  in  the 
fore  feet,  and  appear  on  the  lateral  parts  of  the 
wall.  Toe  cracks  may  appear  on  any  part  of  the 
wall,  but  ordinarily  they  are  seen  directly  in  front. 
They  may  involve  only  the  outer  portion  of  the 
wall,  or  they  may  be  deep  and  involve  the  whole 
wall   and   tissues   beneath. 

CAUSE. — Heavy  shoes  with  nails  set  too  far  back 
toward  the  heel,  fast  work  on  hard  track  or  road 
that  is  dry;  excessive  dryness  of  the  hoof;  bruises 
and  calk  wounds  are  also  causes  of  quarter  cracks. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  fissure  of  the  horn  is  very  often 
the  only  evidence  of  the  disease,  and  this  is  some- 
times hidden  by  the  long  hair  on  the  coronet,  or 
it  may  be  filled  in  with  putty,  wax  or  mud.  They 
sometimes  commence  on  the  inside  of  the  wall  and 
leave  a  very  thin  layer  on  the  outside  surface.

Gentlemen:— Your  Curine  is  the  best  absorbent 
I  ever  used.  Within  the  last  two  months  I  removed 
two  very  bad  Curbs,  one  Splint,  cured  the  worst 
set  of  tendons  I  ever  saw,  and  is  having  magic 
effect  on  a  horse  that  has  a  severe  case  of  Navicu- 
lar Disease.  In  the  last  mentioned  case  I  have  only 
been  using  it  two  weeks,  but  I  expect  a  permanent 
cure.  Enclosed  find  a  check  for  one-half  dozen 
more  bottles.  Yours   truly,

weight  of  the  body,   the  fissure  closes,  while  in  toe 
cracks  it  opens. 

The  lameness  of  sand  cracks  is  slight  when  the 
animal  walks,  but  on  hard  roads  the  faster  he  is 
made  to  trot  the  worse  he  limps. 

TREATMENT.— In  ordinary  cases  of  quarter 
crack,  shoe  with  a  tip.  Stimulate  the  growth  of 
the  horn  by  painting  around  the  coronet  twice  daily 
with  CURINE  for  two  or  three  days,  and  then 
turn  to  pasture  for  a  couple  of  weeks,  when  he  may 
be  taken  up  and  shod  with  a  bar  shoe  and  put  to 
work. 

In  toe  cracks,  lower  the  heel  by  paring,  but  spare 
the  toe,  except  directly  under  the  crack,  where  it 
is  to  be  pared  away  until  it  rests  free  from  the 
shoe.  The  shoe  should  have  a  clip  on  each  side  of 
che  fissure.  Paint  the  coronary  band  with  CUR- 
INE same  as  for  quarter  cracks. 

If  the  above  treatment  fails,  the  horn  must  be 
softened  by  the  use  of  warm  water  and  poultices 
and  the  walls  of  the  fissure  removed  with  the  knife 
in  the  shape  of  the  letter  V.  Sponge  the  wound 
thoroughly  with  the  following  solution:  CURINE, 
one  part;  water,  ten  parts.  Now  saturate  a  pad 
of  oakum  with  the  same  solution ;  place  it  over  the 
wound  and  bandage  with  a  damp  roller  bandage. 
Repeat  once  a  day  for  a  week,  and  then  the  oakum 
and  bandage  only  will  be  needed. 


GLANDERS— FARCY. 

Glanders  and  farcy  are  the  same  disease,  only 
the  first  term  applies  to  the  disease  when  the  le- 
sions occur  in  the  internal  organs;  and  the  second 
term  is  applied  to  it  when  the  lesions  appear  on  the 
skin  of  the  animal.  It  is  a  fatal  disease,  sooner  or 
later.  We  read  of  it  in  ancient  history  as  affecting 
the  army  of  Constantine  as  far  back  as  B.  C.  330, 
and  some  of  the  veterinarians  in  those  early  days 
gave  a  very  good  description  of  this  terrible  dis- 
ease.   It   is   very   contagious    and   may   be   readily 


42  CURINE— The  Great 


communicated  to  the  human  race.  Horned  cattle 
are  about  the  only  class  of  animals  exempt  from 
this  disease.  Glanders  is  characterized  by  the  for- 
mation of  tubercles  which  degenerate  into  ulcers 
from  which  exudes  a  discharge  that  contains  virus, 
and,   if  inoculated,   will  destroy   the   entire   system. 

TREATMENT. — So  far  as  medicine  is  concerned, 
there  is  no  drug  that  would  be  of  any  benefit  to 
this  disease.  We  would  advise  that  the  owner  on 
first  suspicion  of  glanders,  destroy  the  animal  im- 
mediately, and  all  articles  with  which  he  has  come 
in  contact  should  be  disinfected  at  once.  The  laws 
of  the  different  states  are  very  stringent  in  regard 
to  animals  being  affected  with  glanders,  and  should 
the  owner  try  to  hide  the  presence  of  the  disease 
he  should  be  punished  to  the  full  extent  of  the  law. 


SPRAINS   OF  THE    LOINS. 

This  affection  is  difficult  to  distinguish  from  many 
similar  cases.  The  muscles  of  the  back  and  loin 
are  injured. 

SYMPTOMS.— If  the  animal  yields  or  shrinks 
from  pressure  or  pinching  on  the  back  near  the 
loin,  he  is  pronounced  by  many  as  having  kidney 
trouble  or  sprained  in  the  loins.  This  is  mostly  an 
error,  as  the  majority  of  horses,  and  especially 
high-bred  animals,  will  yield  from  a  slight  pressure 
when  in   the   best   of   health.     If   the  back   or   loins

H.   S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  Latrobe,  Pa. 

Gentlemen:— I  have  removed  three  -Ringbones 
from  a  3-year-old  colt,  one  of  which  was  an  ex- 
tremely large  and  hard  one;  also  a  bad  Curb  from 
a  3-year-old  pacing  colt,  and  some  very  bad  Wind 
Puffs  from  my  5-year-old  pacing  gelding,  record 
2:261/4,  and  he  can  beat  2:15.  He  is  now  as  sound 
as  a  new  milled  dollar,  since  I  have  used  your  Cur- 
ine  on  him.  Yours  truly,

be  sprained,  the  animal  will  yield  from  pressure 
of  any  kind,  ar.d  while,  at  rest  he  will  stand  with 
his  back  in  an  arched  condition  and  hind  legs  sep- 
arated, or  if  in  motion  and  is  made  to  stop  suddenly 
he  will  evince  pain  and  probably  throw  his  hind 
legs  forward  under  the  body. 

TREATMENT.— Give  the  animal  rest,  and.  if  pos- 
sible, place  him  in  a  sling.  Bathe  the  back  and 
over  the  loins  well  with  hot  water,  and  when  dry 
paint  with  CURINE  diluted  with  equal  parts  alco- 
hol and  water.  Repeat  twice  a  day  for  four  or  five 
days,   and  allow  the  animal  rest  for  another  week. 


CANKER. 


Canker  of  the  foot  is  a  disease  produced  by  a 
vegetable  parasite.  It  destroys  the  sole,  frog,  and 
sets  up  inflammation  in  the  deeper  tissues.  The 
parasite  may  be  called  contagious,  but  they  must 
find  a  suitable  place  in  the  foot  to  grow  before  they 
are  reproduced.  Dampness  is  the  most  favorable 
cause  for  the  development  of  this  disease,  as  it  is 
much  more  common  in  wet  than  in  dry  seasons. 

SYMPTOMS.— It  may  appear  in  all  the  feet  at  the 
same  time,  but  usually  it  will  be  found  in  one  foot 
and  then  in  the  other,  etc.  When  it  attacks  the 
foot  you  will  notice  a  thin  watery  discharge,  and 
as  this  secretion  dries  it  forms  a  matter  very  of- 
fensive to  the  sense  of  smell,  and  later  will  rot 
away  the  horn  of  the  frog,  and  sole,  and  when  this 
is  destroyed  lameness  will  appear. 

TREATMENT.— Cleanse  the  foot  thoroughly  with 
warm  water  and  apply  a  linseed  poultice  containing

Gentlemen:— We  have  been  using  your  Curine  for 
the  past  six  months  with  the  best  of  success.  It 
has  no  superior  for  deep-seated  troubl.es,  and  we 
cheerfully  recommend   it.        Very  truly  yours,

one-half  to  one  ounce  of  CURINE;  when  "weil  poul- 
ticed, remove  all  the  diseased  portions  of  the  horn; 
cut  off  all  the  prominent  points  of  the  soft  tissues 
and  nail  on  carefully  a  broad  plain  shoe.  Now  paint 
with  CURINE  over  the  diseased  portion;  place  a 
pad  of  oakum  over  the  foot  and  apply  a  roller  band- 
age. Repeat  once  a  day  until  the  soft  tissues  are 
all  horned  over,  then  dilute  CURINE  with  five 
times  water  and  continue  the  dressing  until  a  per- 
manent cure  is  effected.  Do  not  allow  your  patience 
to  become  exhausted  in  treating  for  canker,  as  in 
some  cases  it  is  very  slow  to  yield. 


CONTRACTED    HEELS. 

Contracted  heels  is  a  disease  common  among 
horses  that  are  kept  on  hard  dry  floors.  It  nearly 
always  affects  the  fore  feet,  and  is  caused  by  the 
tissues  of  the  foot  shrinking  away,  which  may  be 
the  result  of  too  sudden  a  change  from  wet,  marshy 
ground  to  dry  stables;  or  faulty  shoeing.  They  may 
also  become  contracted  from  diseases,  such  as  ring- 
bone, navicular  disease,  corns,  thrush,  canker    etc. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  whole  hoof  is  so  dry  and  hard 
that  it  can  scarcely  be  cut;  the  heels  are  higher; 
the  frog  is  pinched  and  much  shrunken  between  the 
enclosing  heels.  When  the  disease  is  advanced, 
lameness  will  appear. 

TREATMENT.— Remove  the  shoe  and  lower  the 
heels;  soak  the  foot  or  feet  In  cold  water  with  a 
handful  of  salt  in  it  for  a  couple  of  days  until  the 
horn  becomes  soft;  or,  if  desired,  the  foot  may  be 
poulticed  until  the  horn  is  soft.     Now  shoe  with  a

Read  what  Dick  Wilson,  of  Binghamton,  N.  Y., 
driver  of  Bumps,  2:04%,  and  other  good  ones,  says: 
"I  have  been  using  Curine  for  the  last  three  months 
and  I  am  free  to  say  that  I  think  it  the  best  prep- 
aration in  the  world.  It  will  reach  deep-seated 
troubles  where  all  other  medicines  fail.  I  find  the 
same  verdict  among  all  first-class  drivers  and  own- 
ers at  the  Buffalo  meeting:."

"tip,"  rasp  away  the  horn  of  the  wall  until  a  thin 
layer  covers  the  tissues  beneath  the  heel  so  that 
the  frog-  may  rest  on  the  ground.  Paint  around 
the  coronet  with  CURINE  once  a  day  for  a  week 
and  repeat  in  three  or  four  weeks.  This  will  stim- 
ulate a  rapid  and  healthy  g-rowth  of  horn.  If  the 
animal's  service  can  be  spared,  turn  him  to  pasture 
in  a  damp  field  for  a  -month  or  so;  if  not,  use  some 
good  hoof  ointment  on  the  horn  and  sole  and 
make  the  floor  of  his  stall  damp  with  clay  or  wet 
straw.  If  all  horses  stood  on  damp  clay  floors 
there  would  be  few  contracted   heels. 


SPRAINS   OF    THE    FETLOCK. 

Sprains  of  the  fetlock  mostly  happen  to  the  fore 
leg,  and  trotters,  pacers  and  runners  are  particu- 
larly liable  to  this  injury. 

CAUSES. — It  generally  happens  by  making  a  mis- 
step, slipping,  stumbling,  or  the  animal  is  caught 
in  a  rut  or  hole  and  struggles  violently. 

SYMPTOMS.— While  at  rest  the  leg  is  flexed  at 
the  joint  affected  and  the  toe  rests  on  the  ground. 
The  joint  swells  and  becomes  hot. 

TREATMENT.— Give  the  animal  rest  and  apply 
cold  water  bandages  every  hour  until  the  fever  has 
subsided,  then  paint  with  Dr.  Turnbull's  CURINE 
twice  daily  for  one  week;  allow  the  animal  another

I^.  S.  Bossart  &  Co.,  Latrobe,   Pa.: 

In  April  I  purchased  a  bottle  of  your  Curine. 
Since  that  time  I  have  thoroughly  tested  the  merits 
of  this  medicine,  and  I  am  free  to  say  that  I  have 
never  used  anything  that  would  compare  with  it 
as  a  remedy  for  removing  bunches  of  all  kinds  from 
horses.  I  have  one  horse  at  present  that  had  a 
very  bad  curb  that  it  has  completely  cured.

week's  rest,  and  if  the  lameness  has  not  all  disap- 
peared, repeat  the  treatment  with  the  CURINE. 
If  the  ligaments  of  the  joint  are  ruptured  the  lame- 
ness may  last  Quite  a  while. 


FROG  BRUISE. 


A  bruise  of  the  frog  usuaJly  happens  from  the 
animal  stepping  on  a  hard  object.  If  a  stone  is 
wedged  between  the  sides  of  the  frog,  or  in  the 
cleft  of  the  frog,  and  allowed  to  remain  there  for 
some  time  it  may  produce  the  same  result,  espe- 
cially if  he  is  moving  at  a  fast  gait. 

SYMPTOMS.— When  the  animal  moves,  the  toe  is 
placed  to  the  ground,  and  when  he  is  resting  the 
leg  is  extended,  with  the  toe  resting  on  the  ground. 
This  is  done  in  order  to  keep  all  pressure  from  the 
frog.  When  the  injured  spot  is  found  and  no  open- 
ing exists,  it  should  be  pared  through  until  a  thin 
watery  pus  escapes;  if  a  ragged  opening  exists  and 
a  greenish  pus  is  escaping,  gangrene  of  the  plantar 
cushion  has  set  in. 

TREATMENT.— Remove  the  shoe,  pare  the  sole 
down  thin  and  poultice  the  foot  for  a  couple  of 
days.  When  the  pus  has  loosened  the  horn,  all  the 
detached  portions  should  be  cut  away.  If  gan- 
grene of  the  plantar  cushion  has  set  in,  one-half 
of  the  frog,  or  probably  the  whole  of  it,  will  be 
found  to  have  separated  from  the  plantar  cushion 
and  should  be  removed  with  the  knife.  In  a  couple 
of  days  the  unhealthy  portion  of  the  cushion  will 
slough  off  from  the  effects  of  the  poultice.  Now 
take   a   camel's   hair   brush   and    pencil   the   wound

has  no  equal  for  all  kinds  of  bony  enlargements,

with  a  solution  of  one  part  CURINE  to  four  parts 
water;  cover  the  wound  carefully  with  a  pad  of 
oakum  saturated  in  the  same  solution,  and  apply 
a  roller  bandage.  Repeat  once  a  day  until  a  thin 
layer  of  new  horn  has  grown  over  the  exposed 
parts.  The  animal  may  now  be  shod,  first  cover 
the  frog  with  a  pad  of  oakum  held  in  place  by  a 
piece  of  leather  covering  the  foot  and  nailed  on 
with  the  shoe.  Give  slow  work  for  a  couple  of 
weeks. 


DISTEMPER. 


Distemper  appears  as  a  fever  and  lasts  for  a  few 
days,  with  formation  of  matter  in  the  lungs  and 
air  tubes,  which  may  form  abscesses  in  various 
parts  of  the  body.  It  is  an  infectious  disease,  but 
it  generally  leaves  the  animal  in  as  healthy  a  form 
as  before,  and  also 'from  future  trouble  of  the  same 
kind. 

CAUSES. — Young  horses  from  one  to  five  years 
of  age  are  more  subject  to  this  disease  than  older 
animals,  and  as  it  is  infectious,  it  is  very  often 
brought  about  by  the  colt  being  placed  in  a  stable 
with  older  horses  that  may  be  bearers  of  some  in- 
fectious disease.  Standard  and  thoroughbred 
horses  are  more  apt  to  contract  the  disease  at  an 
earlier  age  than  heavier  or  more  sluggish  animals. 

SYMPTOMS.— The  coat  becomes  dry,  the  hair 
stands  on  end,  appetite  may  or  may  not  be  dimin- 
ished; horse  may  have  chills  in  different  parts  of 
the  body,  fever,  and  pulse  becomes  high;  eyes  and 
mouth  are  of  a  reddish  color.  The  colt  may  sneeze 
and  cough,  and  at  the  end  of  a  couple  of  days  a  thin 
watery  discharge  from  the  nostrils  takes  place, 
and  later  it  becomes  thicker  and  of  a  yellowish 
color.  In  a  couple  of  days  after  the  discharge  has 
taken  place  you  will  notice  a  swelling  under  the 
jaw  which  will  gradually  form  an  abscess,  break 
open  and  discharge.  At  the  end  of  four  or  five 
days  th«  discharge  lessens;  the  animal  regains  his 
appetite  and  is  himself  again.

TREATMENT.— Protect  him  from  the  cold  and 
make  him  comfortable  with  blankets.  If  his  appe- 
tite remains  good,  feed  him  good  clean  hay,  oats 
and  a  nice  hot  bran  mash  once  or  twice  a  day.  If 
the  fever  is  high,  feed  him  a  small  handful  of  Ep- 
som salts  twice  a  day.  Put  a  small  handful  of  hay 
with  a  little  pine  tar  on  it  in  a  bucket  and  pour  a 
pail  of  boiling  water  over  it;  hold  the  horse's  head 
over  this  for  ten  or  fifteen  minutes  and  let  him 
inhale  the  steam  thoroughly;  keep  stirring  it  with 
a  wisp  of  hay.  Repeat  three  or  four  times  a  day 
until  the  cough  is  relieved.  If  the  abscess  under 
the  jaw  is  large,  open  it  at  once  and  bathe  it  and 
the  swollen  gland  well  with  warm  water.  Do  not 
blister  the  throat,  as  no  medicine  is  necessary  for 
the  treatment  of  distemper,  unless  other  complica- 
tions arise. 


MANGE. 


Mange  is  due  to  the  irritation  of  the  skin  caused 
by  a  small  parasite. 

SYMPTOMS. — An  incessant  and  increasing  itch- 
ing in  some  parts  of  the  back,  mane,  head,  tail  and 
lower  parts  of  the  legs  or  heels.  The  hair  may  be 
rubbed  off,  eruptions  and  scab  formed  from  the 
effects  of  the  constant  scratching:. 

TREATMENT.— Wash  thoroughly  with  warm  wa- 
ter and  castile  soap  until  scabs  are  removed,  and 
when  dry  paint  over  the  affected  parts  with  CUR- 
INE, Repeat  once  a  day  for  two  or  three  days. 
Wash  all  harness,  brushes,  curry  combs  and  stable 
utensils  in  a  solution  of  creolol,  two  ounces  to  one 
gallon  of  water.  Boil  all  blankets  and  rubbing 
cloths  in  water  and  whitewash  the  stalls.  As  a 
new  family  of  these  parasites  are  raised  about  every 
two  weeks,  it  would  be  well  at  the  end  of  that  time 
to  apply  CURINE  again  for  a  couple  of  days,  same 
as  before.

MASTURBATION— SELF- ABUSE. 

Stallions  acquire  this  vicious  habit,  stimulating 
the  sexual  instinct  to  the  discharge  of  semen  by 
rubbing  the  penis  against  the  belly.  This  habit  is 
very  common  among  standard  and  thoroughbred 
stallions.  The  writer  has  seen  high-bred  colts  one 
year  old  abuse  themselves,  and  very  often  when 
young  colts  at  the  age  of  one  and  two  years  do  not 
thrive,  the  direct  cause  can  be  traced  to  self-abuse. 

TREATMENT.— Always  keep  a  stallion  shield  on 
your  horse;  plenty  of  good  ones  on  the  market,  such 
as  the  Tenny,  Springsteen,  Kentucky,  etc.  A  stal- 
lion that  is  not  worth  a  shield  is  not  worth  having.

SHOEING. 

Although  the  subject  discussed  in  the  present 
chapter  may  not  be  entitled  to  a  place  in  a  cate- 
gory of  the  ailments  to  which  horseflesh  is  heir, 
bad  and  indifferent  shoeing  are  such  prolific  sources 
of  both  disability  and  disease  in  the  noblest  of  all 
our  dumb  animals,  that  no  excuse  is  necessary  in 
claiming  for  it  equal  attention  at  the  hands  of  those 
interested.  No  horseman  questions  the  old  saying 
"no  foot,  no  horse,"  and  yet  in  no  portion  of  that 
animal's  economy  has  he  suffered  so  many  wrongs 
as  in  his  feet,  which  is  due  directly  or  indirectly  to 
improper  shoeing.  We  are  reluctant  to  admit  that 
the  ordinary  iron  or  steel  shoe  is  the  best  artificial 
protection  to  the  horse's  foot.  That  the  system  of 
horseshoeing  as  it  obtains  even  in  the  most  skillful 
hands,  is  pregnant  with  mischief  to  the  foot,  no  one 
who  is  conversant  with  the  facts  will  deny.  Each 
time  a  horse  is  shod— every  nail  drawn— means  so 
much  injury  to  the  foot.  The  better  the  job  the  less 
injury. 

We  have,  however,  to  deal  with  the  facts  as  we 
find  them,  and  as  we  have  to  impose  upon  our 
horse's  work  of  a  nature  that  entails  upon  their 
feet  more  waste  of  horn  than  nature  can  replace 
during  the  ordinary  interval  of  rest,  we  are  obliged 
to  adopt  a  defense  of  some  kind. 

Without  wishing  to  do  injustice  to  the  rural 
knights  of  the  anvil,  it  is  nevertheless  a  lamentable 
truth  that  these  votaries  of  the  buttress  and  draw- 
ing-knife are,  all  the  world  over,  so  wedded  to  a 
number  of  traditionary  practices,  so  heinous  and 
prejudicial  to  the  interest  of  the  horse  and  his  own- 
er that  one  mfght  well  be  excused  for  wondering 
whether  their  mission  were  not  to  mar  instead  of  to 
protect  the  perfect  handiwork  of  our  Creator. 

Ignorant  at  the  anatomy  and  physiology  of  the 
parts,  they  cut,  they  mutilate  and  carve  as  whim, 
prejudice  or  time-honored  custom  dictates.  Dis- 
aster it  may  be  slowly,  but  surely  follows  and  the 
poor  dumb  creatures'  suffering  foots  the  bill.  Let 
us  glance  at  some  of   the   traditional  practices. 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  51 


Among  them  is  the  insane  habit  of  trimming  the 
frog  and  thinning  out  the  sole  till  it  will  visibly  yield 
to  the  pressure  of  fhe  operators'  thumbs.  The  frog 
is  nature's  cushion  and  hoof-expander,  placed  there 
by  an  all-wise  hand;  by  its  elasticy  it  wards  off 
concussion  from  the  less  elastic  portion  of  the 
structure  and  by  its  resilence  assists  in  maintain- 
ing the  natural  expansion  of  its  horny  ambit,  that 
is,  it  does  so  in  its  natural  state,  but  the  drawing- 
knife  touch  is  fatal  to  it.  Once  cut,  carved  and  de- 
prived of  its  pressure,  causes  it  to  shrink,  dry,  and 
harden  and  at  once  lose  those  attributes  which  con- 
stitutes its  usefulness  to  the  foot. 

The  operator  next  turns  his  attention  to  the 
sole,  which,  by  all  traditions  of  the  craft,  must  be 
pared  down  until  only  a  thin,  soft  and  partially 
formed  horn  is  left  to  protect  the  living  structures 
within  against  injury  from  the  substances  from 
which  the  foot  necessarily  comes  in  contact  with. 

On  this  maimed  foot  a  shoe,  often  many  sizes 
too  small,  is  tacked,  and  the  rasp  is  mostly  used  to 
reduce  the  foot  to  fit  the  shoe;  for  although  it  is 
apparently  of  little  moment  whether  the  shoe  fits 
the  foot,  but  it  is  necessary  that  the  foot,  somehov,- 
or  other,  fit  the  shoe.  The  foot  is  now  shod  and 
protected  from  undue  wear,  to  be  sure,  but  at  what 
a  sacrifice!  Robbed  of  its  cushion.  Its  natural  ex- 
pander; its  sole  mangled;  its  horny  wall  crushed 
and  deflected  by  an  unncessary  number  of  nails; 
robbed  by  the  rasp  of  its  cortical  layer  of  natural 
varnish,  which  retains  the  moisture  secreted  by  the 
economy,  and  the  foot  is  a  very  sorry  plight  in- 
deed. It  is  a  fact  all  the  world  over  the  farrier  is 
the  only  one  among  all  our  artisans  who  is  least 
amenable  to  suggestions  from  his  employer.  When 
the  ordinary  horse-owner  takes  his  animal  to  the 
shoeing  forge  he  has  usually  to  place  himself  in  the 
blacksmith's  hands  and  give  him  his  own  way  to 
cut  and  carve  at  his  unholy  will,  or  else  take  his 
horse  elsewhere  and  then  probably  find  himself  no 
better  off.  The  result  is  that  his  horse's  feet  are 
mercilessly  mutilated  instead  of  being  left  as  nearly 
as  possible  as  nature  made  them.

THE  SHOE. 

Th^'  «hoe  should  be  as  light  as  tne  weight  of  the 
animal  and  the  nature  of  the  work  he  is  expected  to 
peirform  will  admit  of. 

The  mission  of  the  shoe  is  to  prevent  undue  wear 
of  the  walls,  and  a  light  shoe  will  do  this  as  well 
as  a  heavy  one.  Make  the  shoe  to  fit  the  foot  in- 
stead of  the  foot  to  fit  the  shoe.  Level  the  foot 
perfectly  and  use  the  knife  very  sparingly  and  do 
not  cut  away  any  of  the  frog  as  nature  will  take 
care  of  that.  Use  small  nails  and  not  too  many; 
do  not  drive  too  high  up  into  the  walls.  If  a  per- 
fectly level  bearing  has  been  obtained— as  ought  to 
be  the  case — it  is  astonishing  how  fev/  and  how 
small  nails  will  hold  the  shoe  firmly  in  its  place. 
When  the  shoe  has  been  fitted,  the  nails  drawn  up 
and-  clinched,  there  should  be  nothing  left  to  be> 
done.  It  is  just  at  this  stage  that  the  incompetent 
workman,  in  the  most  uncalled  for  manner,  in- 
flicts serious  and  lasting  injuries  on  the  foot  by 
rasping  away  the  thin  coating  of  natural  varnish 
on  the  outer  portion  of  the  foot  which  is  put  there 
by  nature  to  protect  the  moisture  necessary  for 
the  protection  of  the  horn  and  foot. 

Shoes  should  be  removed,  refitted  and  redriven 
every  four  to  six  weeks. 

In  this  short  article  on  shoeing  we  are  not  writing 
for.  the  trotting  horseman  who  knows  his  own  busi- 
ness better  than  we  can  teach  him,  and  thanks 
be  to  him  for  the  amount  of  attention  that  he  has 
given  to  proper  shoeing  which  tends  to  the  more 
perfect  development  of  that  paragon  of  horse-flesh, 
the  American  trotter,  who  has  macle  better  progress 
in  America  than  in  any  other  country  on  the  face 
of  the  globe. 

The  different  styles  of  shoes  which  have  been  de- 
vised are  marvels  of  ingenuity,  and  many  of  them 
are  admirably  effective  as  remedial  agents  for 
faulty  gaits  and  uneven  action.  Their  number  is 
infinite,  but  as  many  of  them  are  applicable  only 
to  horses  used  solely  for  speed  purposes,  an  at- 
tempt to  give  a  description  would  be  out  of  place 
in  a  work  of  this  kind.

I  will  guarantee  my  CURINE  to  be  the  most  powerful  pa.int 
♦hat  medical  science  can  formulate.  It  will  reach  DEKFER- 
SEATED  TROUBLES  and  produce  better  effects  for  LAME 
NESS  and  unhealthy  sores  than  any  other  preparation  in  the 
world,  for  which  local  medication  is  indicated,  such  as  Spavins, 
Curbs,  Splints,  Ringbones,  Sprung  Knees,  Rheumatism,  Lame- 
ness of  all  kinds.  Soft  Bunches,  Bony  Growths,  etc.

CURINE  is  the  most  powerful  paint  known,  and  supersedes 
all  cautery  or  firing.  It  contains  no  grease  and  will  not  blemish 
or  remove  the  hair 

Its  effects  are  absorbent,  alterative,  penetrative,  and  antisep- 
tic, and  will  re.;ch  the  deepest-seated  troubles.  Horses  can  be 
worked  as  usual  while  using  this  marvelous  paint.  It  is  used 
with  phenomenal  success  in  all  the  leading  stables.  WE  WILL 
WAGER  $100  that  it  will  produce  better  effects  for  the  same 
curatives  than  any  other  compound   in  the  world. 

WE  GUARANTEE  that  one  bottle  of  CURINE  will  pro- 
duce better  results  than  any  other  paint,  liniment  or  spavin  cure 
ever  made.  EVERY  BOTTLE  OF  CURINE  is  sold  warranted 
to  give  satisfaction.  It  is  recommended  by  such  owners  as  Allen

E4  CURINE— The  Great 


DR.    TURNBULL'S   PREPARATION    FROM   A 
SCIENTIFIC  STANDPOINT. 

Clipping  from  the  Western  Horseman,  May  16, 
appearing  also  in  Chicago  Horseman,  May  23;  Ken- 
tucky Stock  Farm,  May  23;  American  Sportsman, 
May  23;  Horse  Review,  May  28;  Turf,  Field  and 
Farm,  May  30,  1895: 

Of  the  many  proprietarj-  and  quack  medicines  now 
on  the  market  very  few  have  any  medicinal  value. 
The  proprietors  of  most  veterinary  preparations 
know  absolutely  nothing  of  veterinary  science, 
equally  little  of  the  actien  of  compounding  of 
drugs,  and  having  no  reputation  at  stake,  rely  on 
extensive  advertising,  a  few  bogus  testimonials 
and  considerable  gall  in  order  to  sell  their  nostrums. 
Again,  the  low  figure  at  which  many  of  these  are 
placed  on  the  market  is  in  itself  prima  facie  evi- 
dence of  fraud.  Some  time  ago  the  firm  of  H.  S. 
Bossart  &  Co.  commenced  advertising  a  prepara- 
tion formulated  bj'  Dr.  Turnbull.  These  gentle- 
men claim  great  curative  powers  for  their  medicine, 
and  they  are  responsible  people.  I  determined  to 
put  their  preparation  to  the  same  thorough  test, 
both  practical  and  analytical,  to  which  I  have  sub- 
jected many  other  proprietary  mixtures,  and  to 
give  the  results  to  the  horse-loving  public.  During 
the  time  taken  up  by  my  investigation  (in  which 
I  was  greatly  assisted  by  a  medical  friend)  I  pro- 
cured more  information  about  the  members  of  the 
firm,  visited  their  excellent  laboratory  and  inter- 
viewed many  of  the  most  prominent  horsemen  who 
have  used  their  preparation.  Dr.  Turnbull,  the  or- 
iginator of  the  formulas,  is  an  experienced  and 
well-known    veterinarian.    The   doctor    is   a  gradu- 


American  Veterinary  Remedy.  55 

• 

ate  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  he  also 
studied  in  Europe.  At  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania he  not  only  held  a  position  in  the  Veterinary 
School,  but  was  also  resident  surgeon  in  the  vet- 
erinary hospital  attached  to  that  institution.  This 
hospital  is  the  finest  in  the  country,  and  its  free 
clinics,  etc.,  give  exceptional  facilities  for  study. 
Not  satisfied  with  his  own  opinion,  Dr.  TurnbuU 
made  several  trips  to  Europe  to  consult  the  most 
prominent  veterinary  scientists  in  regard  to  his 
preparation,  which,  after  repeated  and  careful 
trials  on  the  most  hopeless  cases,  he  then  placed 
on  the  market.  Mr.  H.  S.  Bossart,  the  manufac- 
turer, is  a  prominent  business  man  and  proprietor 
of  the  fine  new  dri\'ing  park  at  Latrobe.  Mr.  Bos- 
sart recognized  the  need  of  such  a  medicine,  and, 
having  often  seen  the  grand  results  from  Dr.  Turn- 
bull's  treatment,  became  interested  in  the  business. 

From  the  above  it  is  easily  seen  that  a  guarantee 
from  such  men  should  convey  great  weight.  Of  the 
above  preparations  I  cannot  speak  too  highly,  and 
from  the  chemist's  standpoint  it  is  a  model  of  the 
highest  excellence. 

After  repeated  trials  by  myself  and  assistant  they 
have  accomplished  what  the  manufacturers  claim 
for  it,  and  any  horseman  who  is  in  need  of  such 
medicine  will  serve  his  own  and  animal's  interest 
by  using   Dr.   Turnbull's   medicine.

HORSE  CUPPING  MACHINES 


There  are  two  kinds  of  Horse  Clipping  Machines: 
The  Best — and  the  Rest.  The  trouble  is  they  all 
look  alike.  And  when  the  rest  dress  like  the  best, 
who^s  to  tell  them  apart  ?  Well^  ^'the  tree  is  known 
by  it^s  fruit/*  That^s  an  old  test  and  a  safe  one. 
And  the  taller  the  tree  the  deeper  the  root.  That^s 
another  test.  What*s  the  root, — the  record  of  these 
machines.  The  one  with  the  deepest  root  is  the 
'^GILLETTE.''  The  one  with  the  richest  fruit— that^ 
too,  is  the  ''GILLETTE.'*  If  you  want  to  get  the 
best  Machine  of  your  dealer,  here's  an  infallible  rule  : 
Ask  for  the  best  and  you  will  get  a  ''GILLETTE." 
Ask  for  a  "GILLETTE**  and  you  will  get  the  best.

Fort  Meade,  S.  Dakota. 
Headquarters  8th  U    S.  Cavalry  : 

Mackey's  Hoof  Expanders  were  applied  to  nine  horses  of  the 
regiment,  suffering  from  Chronic  Lameness,  Contracted  Hoofs, 
Corns,  Side-bones,  Hoof-cracks,  etc.  Eight  of  these  horses  v.ere 
free  from  lameness  in  ten  days  afterwards.        M.  J.  Trhacy,

S.  W.  Mackky,  Esq.    Baltimore,  Md.: 

Dear  Sir — Goods  received  all  O.  K.  I  cured  one  case  of 
contracted  feet  with  navicular  lameness,  which  had  been  lame  for 
one  and  a  half  years.  I  made  the  cure  in  six  days.  It  was  for 
Doctor  T.  F.  Major,  M.  D.,  Scio,  N.  Y.  The  feet  opened  one- 
half  inch  when  the  Expanders  were  applied,  and  another  halt 
inch  when  they  were  in  six  days.  This  horse  was  on  pasture  all 
last  Summer  and  vvas  no  better  in  the  Fall.  He  was  so  lame  that 
he  had  not  tried  to  use  him  for  over  a  year.  Now  he  is  the  best 
horse  he  has  and  he  uses  him  every  day.  The  Doctor  says  they 
have  worked  wonders.  You  can  give  anyone  his  or  my  address 
for  references.  I  enclose  P.  O.  Order  for  one  dozen  pairs  of 
Springs.  Send  by  Express.  They  are  all  right,  as  all  I  have 
used  are  relieving  lameness  in  every  case.  I  am,  My  Dear  Sir, 
Most  respectfully,  C.  A.  Simmons,  D.  V.  S. 

Write  for  Circulars  and  Letters,  so  as  to  know  how  to  order
